The reason behind the 24hr Cooling Off Period
- Thread starter scroobal
- Start date
seriously, the opp parties must get their house in order first before they can tackle the paps. it's getting very wearisome everytime they lose, they cook up something to blame.
the voters are not blind. now they are even more well informed than before. therefore opps should put in more effort to win over them. instead of doing something constructive to show they sincerity for voters, many such as the SDP is creating public nonsense to remind voters to be more wary of opps.
instead of sharing opinions here, sdppies are once again showing their mockful and deplorable representation of their party, namely SDP. sometime u wonder what their real motive really is. chee their messiah has totally no control over them and we expect him to run a ward. what a joke!
a new nic targeting at me is very strange, isn't it mastershapeshifter?
What new nick? I am online 24/7! The anti pap, anti leetahbar individual who carries hundreds of clones nicks here!
:oIo:Am aware of precint vote data. They are obliged to hand those over. The income data is not reliable. Where you think they got the salary benchmarking data from?
You are kidding of course. So SPH will not cover the elections on that particular day? So one day will allow a man to truly ponder and make an informed decision like the PM said.

Dear Scroo
Sorry its the opposition that has to get the people angry enough to vote them in so that whatever SPH does on the last day does not matter.
Well income data tends to be reliable generally for all, not the super rich

Guess what? We had the most opposition in 1963. They occupied virtually 30% of the seats. We had the second most opposition in 1991, although it was an insignificant 5%. By right, we shouldn't be complaining about PAP by now. But why do we?
Not remote? Implausible? Inexplicable? You decide.
The PAP tend to adopt extraordinary measures after facing electoral setbacks. Suitability certificates, GRCs, signing undertakings not to partake in politics to secure releases, racial ratios, high deposits are obstacles.
Until late 80s, anyone opposing the PAP was labelled pro-communist, marxist etc.
You have the impression that nothing changed since 1963 and the opposition quality just got worse progressively.

Dear Scroo
This current batch of "extraordinary measures" come even before an electoral setback , man they must be worried big time

Perspective is human. he worries incessantly about the opposition screwing up after a BIG WIN, he worries that the right "pre conditions" are not in place to prevent the opposition from screwing up after a big win.
BTW he has entirely avoided answering what he thinks the pre conditions should be :_)). I believe however one should be worried about GETTING a victory in any form and then worry abt the next four years the day after

Dear Locke,
I don't think you get Perspective right. He is only WORRIED about getting people that he doesn't like elected into parliament.

This, to me, has always been half the equation. No one told the opposition to resign all their seats and no one told an opposition party's members to sue each other.
I do not think these labels worked, though the actual arrests in 1987 had an effect.
More or less yes.
You said it.
The 18 seats giveaway scenario however was something that they were planning for sometime. It was also a natural extension of the NMP scheme at least in PAP's mind. Similar to what the British had in HK to appease the locals and industry. HK residents actually thought they were in a democracy for decades.
The cooling period was a shock. So you are right. The question in everyone's mind is which interesting piece of research that led to it.

I found Perspective to be an unusual chap. Clearly he has very good grasp of history and details of politics in this country. He certainly is sincere. Its his analysis or more so his conclusions that baffles me. I initially put it down to contrarian or out of the box views. Maybe even playing the devil's advocate.
But the pattern is very consistent. Its out of whack, inexplicable in the view of one well regarded forummer and certainly not predicated on any form of foundation. He is still worried about the PSLE.
His view of the opposition as a single cell organism is probably the most bizarre. He does not realise that PAP has successfully caricatured the opposition as such.
The biggest issue is when he wrongly interprets someone's else post and comes to the wrong conclusion. He then tells the forummer that its wrong and that he disagrees. How do you respond to that?
But credit is due to his accurate recall of local political history which I think he is the outright leader.

The cooling period is for typical PAP educate people like him. Always so unsure. Between devil and deep blue sea he will suck devil cock.
"Perspective"? Try "Cowardice"
If my pattern is "consistent - out of whack" why do you agree with me a large portion of the time.
Bro, there are too many variables that make up the opposition DNA and it is consistently changing. Don't worry too much about the end game. Just worry about making incremental gains. The way the rules are laid out, any gain is a major victory for the opposition and a major setback for the PAP.
To answer your question, when it comes to the usual political business you are in the zone. Its the long term analysis that I found out of whack. I suspect that it based on too much on pessimism rather than on sound assessment. Change your outlook and you will be surprised what you can come out with.
However you are the only that I know that can pick up a historical political event that is very releavnt to support a point and that includes some indepth stuff like unionism etc.
