Most of the time, voters say "Opposition lacked creditability. No good opposition" as though it is the fault of the opposition and not our own fault. The indifference build up over 40 years actually created the weak opposition of the present day.
Most of the time, opposition say "PAP is not fair" as though being fair is the intention of the PAP. If you consider all the governments in developing countries, PAP is actually very fair.
Therefore it makes better sense to see what you can do rather than what others prevented you from doing.
This applies to both voters and opposition.
Although this thread is about the opposition creating value for voters, it does not mean that it is out to do the PAP in.
Rather it is to give the voters more credible choices. An opposition is always good to ensure honesty in government. It enhances a process which makes politics a system rather than a person. And if it can create an alternative, then it adds immeasurable value to our lives.
At the end of the day, this thread is not about voting Republican or Democrat. It is rather about enhancing our choices, because a second opinion is always good.
We all have roots in Singapore. Our parents grown up here and feel at home here. Our children may find this a comfortable place to stay. Therefore it makes sense to use our votes, which is our birthright, to bring in the future we want.
But if we have no choices to exercise our birthright, then the scope of our own life is limited.
If you feel the above makes sense, then add in your own value. Whether you vote PAP or otherwise after that is NOT the issue. The issue is that now you have good choices. And these choices lead to our collective future.
