People like you straddle the middle and typically belong to the swing voters' group. These don't have very strong political ideals and tend to vote based on vested self-interests, and hence swing to one side or the other depending on which phase of life they're going through and their financial and social station at the time.

In the typical case, as the swing voter establishes himself in his career and becomes financially stronger with advancing years, the tendency is to swing from left to right as he has more to lose with leftist policies and disruption to the status quo. But it's always centre-left to centre-right, never the extremes.

I suspect also that with the decimation of the political left in the '60s (Op Coldstore, etc), the gene pool may have become gradually dominated by the variant conservative gene as Pappy cronies climbed the social ladder, commanded higher pay and status, and became more desirable life partners, thus passing on their fascist-leaning genes.

PAP brainwashing has also de-ideologised 2 generations of S'poreans, making them a pragmatic kiasu kiasi people who do not have political principles or ideals, but merely vote based on vested interests and maintaining the status quo if it benefits them.

in one of the online (political inclination) surveys provided on sbf to gauge one's liberal left or conservative right sympathies, i scored one of the highest, if not the highest, points on the extreme right side of the quadrant. i believe sam was number 2. most sbf members were left-leaning if i remember.

pappies are not true conservatives, and here are the reasons:

1. big gov - conservatives want a small gov where they don't run monopolies and utilities competing against private enterprise and industries such as in healthcare, housing, transportation including rail and airlines, power, gas, supermarkets, food co-ops, etc.

2. cpf - conservatives do not believe and trust government to manage and safekeep their money, especially when it is mandated, coerced and taken out from monthly income.

3. public housing - public housing is a socialist ghetto disaster in the minds of conservatives.

4. banking - besides retirement savings management, conservatives will go berserk when they hear a bank or two in sg is majority owned by the gov via sovereign wealth entities.

5. sovereign wealth funds - a big no no to conservatives and a total anti-thesis of small gov.

6. gov-linked companies - conservatives do not want the gov to run enterprise and industries competing with the private sector.

7. sg inc. - the concept of such a marriage between cuntry and corporation is travesty and heresy to conservatives.

pappies are like the former military fascists and mafias of many arab failed states such as libya, tunisia, iraq, syria where an elite family and dynasty runs the cuntry and all major industries and enterprise supported by an inner select group of porlumpars who are mostly generals, and they are rewarded for their loyalty with directorships and board memberships in these so called glc's and swf entities.

those sound more like fox talking points on a sunday afternoon by conservative nutjob Shirley phelp and soundbites from george w bush.completely irrelevant.

singapore is already one step ahead of america,but only because they have been retrained and kept in check by the democrats,we have managed to combined government and business interests into one magnificent economics facist machine of ironic tripartite conflicts of interest.

core features of right wing conservatives should be trickle down economics,rich create jobs and propell economy,low or little taxes to the rich helps to increase productivity and boost gdp,anything socialised in evil,socialised medicine,socialised healthcare,socialised housing,plus anything the PAP spews out of their assholes on a regular basis.

when all things are considered, sg works contrary to conservative core ideals, which drive many in america nuts. she's a paradox yet a paradise. thanks to the pap in creating such a perplexing yet performing potentate. pap is simply the best!
