There's a lot of talk about Harapan having the numbers to topple
Muhyiddin's government. That might or might not be true but one thing's
certain, even if Dr M has the support of Warisan, DAP and Amanah (as has
been speculated), without PKR, they can't possibly have the numbers.
If Dr M's intent is for him to be PM again, PKR isn't likely to support the overthrow. Why should they... just for Dr M to be PM again? Doesn't make sense. If overthrowing Perikatan is so important to Dr M, he should agree that should the change of government happen, it's Anwar who will become PM and he would only serve as an advisor or senior minister, not the PM.
Anything short of that, PKR should not agree. Frankly, neither should DAP or Amanah. After all, it was Dr M's actions and inaction that ultimately led to the downfall of the Harapan government. He purposely propped up Azmin just because he was a rival to Anwar. And at the very least, he tolerated (if not encouraged) Muhyiddin and Azmin's negotiations with UMNO and PAS. He took in UMNO frogs (some 13 of them, who ended jumping back). And in the end, it was his party, Bersatu that broke away from Harapan to form Perikatan.
Why should they back him as PM again? They should back Anwar. We don't know that they don't. While it's been speculated that they support Dr M as PM we don't know that for a fact. Maybe they are telling him, "We will support the overthrow of Perikatan but we want Anwar as PM." We just don't know.
But we do know PKR doesn't want to play ball unless it has some things its way. No longer will it allow Dr M to dictate things in Harapan. Dr M and his gang aren't even in Harapan anymore. They are the "plus" in Harapan Plus.

Will Anwar and gang give
in for the sake of overthrowing Perikatan? I hope they don't. They
should stand firm. Anwar is the Opposition leader. He should be the PM
if there is a change in government, not Dr M, who had his chance but screwed it up. Big time.
