PAP media dirtily harmed WP badly this GE !

If you look at the whole GE 2015, the beginning reminded us the Gomez saga.
The PAP and media attacked the WP TC and characters, the onslaught continued non-stop until the maximum damage was done after a few days.

Media full coverage skewed to PAP and little details from WP were not big enough to read about.
Though the parliament was dissolved , so-called Ministers and the whole PAP machinery were at work either to personally attack Oppo candidates or threatening the voters !
It seemed the old pattern of politics was still relevant. Words were plagiarized from the long past to compel voters to vote for the incumbent.

Punggol east shouldn’t have fallen to PAP because the 1000 votes swing could due chiefly to misunderstanding the sinking fund. Sinking fund is a savings account not relevant to operating funds.

The bone of contention was in fact the deficit accounts in operating funds when PAP PE TC handed over to WP. The claim about 1 million surplus was not ascertained or proven true. WP sought for answer but to no avail. Forummers highlighted to WP that PE accounts can be millstone .

Sad enough , the swing of 1000 over PE voters were not savvy , they hear and read only the media . WP PE fell that night of the polling.
Streets people believe oppo votes drastically declined had two reasons ---the LKY fever and the WP TC accounts. The vote swing of approximately 8 to 10 percent to PAP is no surprise because the personal attacks on persons or at TC accounts were very intense with the aid of media.

Other reasons like SG 50 goodies and new citizens votes are also on the list.
Nevertheless, WP still retains Aljunied and Hougang with at least three more NCMPs.

Many believe the GE 2015 was dressed with ugly politics. WP may have to re-organize and face the next trend of politics in the parliament , playing smart that they cannot be another louder voice for whole Singapore. Perhaps , taking care of their wards would be the first priority. The rest of the 83 are paid to speak up or debate unpopular policies either.

To many, Singapore politics for Alternative parties may well gone to the dogs. Difficult days for Singaporeans are ahead.
LHL is not a sage or God, Can Singapore rely on one party for its survival after LHL . This is the gist !
