TJS seems to have put out this statement because Netizens asked him to keep them informed of the other parties response to his letter to meet.
For the most part it seems that he and SFP have been given a lukewarm response by the other parties. This is why he really does not have much to report.
To even include the SDP's response, which effectively amounts to a brush off, indicates that TJS does not have much to report. The SDP's response is also ironic. We all recall how Dr Chee and the SDP were attempting to get a positive response from WP to the SDP's attempt to cooperate in the run-up to the Punggol East BE. Dr Chee and the SDP were cold-shouldered by the WP. Now TJS and SFP gets more-of-less the same treatment from SDP. So, a rudimentary political principle is established: a party perceived to be small and weak and needs to lift its profile to have a chance at getting into Parliament requires the assistance of a larger and stronger party to do so. But it is really not in the interest of the larger and stronger party to extend such assistance.
This is what politics is all about.
Equally, the cliche that Netizens often employ that "the enemy of your enemy is my friend" is not simply very cliched but is also illusory; it is not grounded in political realities, and the sooner most people realise that the better. There are more than half-a-dozen, mostly small, non-PAP political parties, and for good reason. If there is unity in purpose then there would not be so many such small political parties.
