If Li Lian can win 54%, do you think Nicole Seah can win more percent?

[General Kala]

That pretty much sums up why there can never be unity in opposition, because it's just impossible.

Long time no see.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

like any by election around the world,

the citizen of singapore will never let opposition gain power, therefore in general election, they will vote pap, in by election, they will want to give pap a bloody nose, and vote opposition knowing for certainty that opposition will never gain power, they are then comfortable to vote opposition.

You're saying in every by-election around the world, the ruling party cannot win?
What crap is this? You got the stats to back it up?

 

[HARDAttack]

Long time no see.

How you doing nowadays? Make any killings day trading? Or conned by Kishore M?

 

[Cosmos10]

Yes, in an SMC and also during a by-election. It would be more difficult for opposition to get 54% for SMC during the general election.

Firstly you do know that the TS asking this question is actually getting ppl to think with their dicks. They see nichole as young, thinner than lian so more attractive physically than her and that's about it. The party that they represent is very important let's not forget that. WP and PAP are very well established obviously. While the other party 2 parties are carried soley by the image of the person cos the other 2 parties aren't even well entrenched or even etched into the sg political landscape. Think about this why did koh garner around 40% of the votes even though he was only campaigning for 2 weeks? Is it cos he's very capable and charismatic? Of course not cos he has the PAP's backing.


Nicole isn't even part of WP and yes you need to represent a strong party to win. If nicole was representing nsp to campaign for pongol east well quite hard to say but i say might not win.

Usually 8 times out of 10 people will vote against ruling party in by-elections. That is why PAP has not liked to have such elections. That is also why bookies stopped taking bets on a LLL victory almost a week before polling day. And that is why Low says the PE result does not indicate future trend at the next GE. He is correct on that. If PAP gets it act together it may even re-take PE at the next GE.

If Nicole Seah were to run agianst Ass hole expert Koh under her present party banner.

She'll lose, for sure.

Singaporeans have wise up that is ain't just the person they are voting for.

It's the core group of ppl who make up the party that gives the backing to the candidate that has the most pull.

And PAP's core group of ppl have gotten from bad to worse.

I guess Ass hole expert Koh did not feel that he was being backed by a group of Ass holes.

Agree completely. Did you see the article that the NSP's Gilbert Goh wrote on WP weeks ago about its chances in the by-election. Essentially he said it may not win and he based his view on at least one factual error: he said Chen Show Mao was not in the WP CEC. That was totally incorrect. And Gilbert Goh is supposed to be one of NSP's better people? NS would indeed not win against PAP in a by-election. Just because many people online like her, they think most people offline (who remain the vast majority) would like her too? Bah humbug!

Who you want to be the vehicle commander when you are driving... The role of a vehicle commander is to make sure that the driver is a wake and driving properly so If I'm the driver... Of course the prettier one lah!

Like 75%?

If Nicole Seah against Kate Spade one to one at Marine Parade, Nicole will put Kate Spade to shame,
Nicole would probably won by wide margin like 80%!!

You are assuming that MOST people know who NS is.
And you are assuming that MOST people vote candidate instead of party.

Maybe that will happen if the WP calls for a referendum for the removal of the GRC system

Mind you, alot of people will just vote a non-PAP candidate regardless of personality or party. It helped to explain why the NSP team featuring NS garnered a respectable 45% of the votes in MP GRC.

"Alot of people" may still not be the majority. You need a majority to win. The NSP team at Marine Parade took 43.36% of the vote, which is respectable but still a far distance from winning. Next GE you could see that kind of margin remain for the NSP. Only WP could close the margin in Marine Parade and Tampines.
