I have said this before. This party has always intrigued me. It has never been a political party until 2011 and that to me had nothing to with the core members who are still there. Nicole, Jeanette, Hazel, Tony, Gilbert etc are exiles from RP. It was the most convenient vehicle for the latter.
These core members have no desire to beat the PAP in anything. 2 of them have a history of talking to certain WP members. Being in NSP ( a political party) gives them a basis to engage SDP, SPP, PKMS, WP etc.
