The best way for opposition to thrive is to go to their volunteer events and help them out instead of being a keyboard warrior or attending rallies during election if they truly believe in the opposition cause. They need a lot of volunteers to do house visits, logistics and such. Even workers party is still relatively a small party in comparison to PAP which has over 600,000 members.
Learn from the PAP IB. When they realised the lost the online space back in 2011, they started gathering their fellow members and like pro FB comments on MSM fb pages like ST and Today. They also frequently mob attacked opposition members' facebook pages from their facebook group Silent No More. The result of their effort finally paid off in 2015.
My support for the Opposition Movement goes beyond just the Online activities, I volunteered as Polling agent and Counting agent a number of times, attended most the Opposition rallies.
I also donated and purchased most of the items displayed for sales at their rally sites. Like I said before, I make myself visible to the PAP. A form of marketing.
After GE2011, PAP went full force to conquer the online and offline spaces. The result is not what they expected.
With so much goodies thrown in, old fart, and SG50 propaganda, WP still retained Aljunied GRC and Hougang.
It was a small victory, Punggol East and increase in the percentage of votes, given the amount of resources used.
Like in any battle, if an army launches a full force attack and did not even managed to captured their target,
then it only shows that the army is not capable enough.
This give the Oppositions a chance to observe the capabilities of the PAP machinery at full force.
Thereafter formulate strategies to counter the PAP.
Frankly, during GE2015 the Opposition movement wasn't even at full swing online and offline.
I guess Opposition movement unlike to PAP opportunist, respected 2015 as a year the last leaf of the Old Guards fell and also it was the 50th Anniversary.
So now is 2016, its time for the Opposition Movement to regroup and forge a even more stronger comeback.
