Ok I'm going to assume we are all anti-PAP here. pro-PAP dogs can fuck off from this thread. And I know the EP has no real power and the president erections is just a sham... but anyway makes a good discussion material.
None of us are going to vote for Tony Tan the fucker. So it's left between TCB and TKL. My logic for votes is to vote for the lesser evil. So what are forumers opinion on this?
TKL
- Is an opportunistic and cunning bastard. I believe this is 90% true. I reckon he's been planning for EP all along. He jumped onto the minibond fiasco to make him look good, and he's trying to portray the image of the "reluctant leader", being forced to serve the people for the good of Sinkies. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing.
- Doesn't take criticism against him very well. This is 100% true, and I can tell from my non-political email interactions with him (on financial matters). However, the positive side is most of the stuff he has said or claimed is more right than wrong.
- Supposedly had a fallout with the PAP and now he wants to "get revenge". Not sure how true is this... but if it's true there's an old saying that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Ok fine, maybe he's an opportunistic and cunning bastard, but if he makes life hard for the PAP he's our bitch, not the PAP's bitch.
- However, the risk of such opportunistic bastards is that if he becomes EP, the PAP top brass may strike a deal with him. Give him lots of money and power and face, and in return he will "wayang" a bit to keep his promises but never hit on the hard issues.
TCB
- Don't know much about his character. Shitty Times have been saying he is kind hearted, give free medical care, etc... I'm not sure if I fully buy into it, but I think he's less opportunistic and less cunning than TKL... which again may not be a good thing.
- Supposedly doesn't toe the party line very well, based on Shitty Times and other internet rumors. However, the fact that he's still with the PAP shows that he has not enough balls to do what is right. No moral courage at all.
- In terms of qualifications I think TCB will be clueless of how to fuck PAP about the reserves. He's a fucking doctor for god's sake. At least TKL with experience in finances will know how to dig out shit... TCB might not even recognize shit when he sees it! Besides... I think this guy is low on promises. WTF has he promised so far?
- Supposedly he is the preferred candidate of the "PAP grassroot" faction, that are unhappy with the "PAP elite" faction. Assuming that this is true, making him EP may open up a fifth column, where the PAP grassroots will give trouble or even better take on the PAP elites. Best possible scenario is that there will be an internal split amongst the PAP... but unlikely. There's also a risk that since this TCB has a track record of lack of moral courage, the PAP may just find someway to keep him quiet and the fifth column will die out even before it begins.
So who is the lesser of the two evils? Let's discuss! I'm inclined to vote for TKL. We need a fucker like him to take on the PAP fuckers, not some pussy dick backbencher MP like TCB. My argument is that I don't really give a fuck about how fucked up TKL character is, as long as he makes PAP's life hard I will be happy. Allied forces worked with Stalin (a fucker) in WW2 to fight Hitler (the bigger fucker)... I think the analogy is a good one here!
