Every seat counts:

It’s unlikely that DL can attract enough of the middle ground to be voted in as MP. With SDA against PAP in a straight fight, DL is presenting six seats on a platter to PAP.
I’m not sure if Desmond is credible as there were reports that he had asked for a recount of the 2013 PE by-election despite receiving only 168 votes. He was dissuaded from contesting PE, but he persisted in both GE 2011 and BE 2013 as he had insisted that he was a “local” person there – but he was proven badly wrong. DL had only himself to blame for the loss of his deposits on both occasions.
Since SingFirst has given up AMK GRC to RP to avoid a 3CF, it is therefore possible for SingFirst to field a team in Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC. However, if KJ cannot assemble a strong team for AMK GRC, he should consider giving AMK GRC back to SingFirst (with Roy Ngerng to switch to the contesting party) and focus on getting into Parliament by leading RP’s West Coast GRC team (which he had led in GE 2011) or contesting in Radin Mas SMC, whichever is considered the best route to get him (KJ)into Parliament.
If AMK GRC should be ceded to SingFirst, then NSP or WP should take up Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC since it is adjacent to both Tampines GRC and Aljunied GRC. Perhaps, WP can let NSP have the first pick here –if SingFirst cannot come in – since NSP has given up contesting Marine Parade GRC and McPherson SMC to WP.
Alternate parties should co-operate or unite to kick PAP out in GE 2015. Otherwise, a PAP government (if elected) is likely to amend the Town Councils Act to fix alternate parties’ TCs especially if MND should fail in its appeal to the Court of Appeal get external accountants into AHPETC.
SDA should not stand in the way if any other stronger alternate party can field a team for Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC as SDA’s chance of winning the GRC is close to zero. If SDA refuses to budge, let the electorate in Pasir Ris-Punggol decide if DL should leave politics for good in a 3CF – it is in DL’s interests as well as the people’s if the electorate in Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC should hand DL another damning verdict.
Every seat counts for a regime change to vote out the PAP. Time is of the essence as it may be too late to kick PAP out after GE 2015 if the native true blue Singaporean core is reduced below a critical mass with PAP’s relentless immigration expected for its growth-at-all-costs policy.
