[h=2]Hougang By Election Review : A Vicious Cycle[/h]
1. The more biase the press, the more people wrote negative things against the ruling party online to counter. Very soon, SPH might be known as Singapore Property Holding to reflect where their major income will come from. Mainstream media will be irrelevant soon on this trend.
2. The more PAP smear the opposition, the lesser chance they can attract good talent to join them. Many of local talent will not want to be part of this smearing campaign. As already the case, more and more of their candidates are from 2nd generation PAP politicians. They will find it even harder to convince talent to join after this HG election.
3. The more punishment dish out to opposition ward, the lesser support they have nationally. Lower income group usually have more pride towards accepting the "carrots". In chinese saying, eat soft don't eat hard.
4. The more FT show their support of PAP, the more people will vote for opposition. And FT are very vocal in showing their support. You probably saw a pinoy looking man shouting his support on live TV at PAP branch HQ just now. And PAP is going to lose more and more vote because of this.
