You are against all opposition. Why single her out.
I find that Lina Chiam actually exceed expectation ... she bring out a lot more alternative proposal than all the WP MPs combined....
and I find that some NMP also outperform WP themselves..
the truth is not just Lina Chiam is reading from script, most likely Li Lian herself will be reading from script if elected...
most of the officers in WP have been elected, Li Lian is a sgt, she just take order and do work...
expecting her to contribute to policy debate is a bridge too far...
not just her, Hong Boon, Frieda and glenda are sgt material.... they are all social and grassroot activist at most, they have no burning pet issue or any policy solution..
ANgela has better credential but not in econ and public policy, she is also bleeding liberal, she can at least do her own research and write her own speech to push her liberal agenda, but i do not think she can be in position of governance...
those sgt above cant, they will likely need to read scripts..
angela is in marriage of convenience with WP, i suspect she rather be in SDP
I consider Png, John Yam and Choon Yong to be Warrent officer, they could have been officer material meaning they can contribute to parliament debate but once elected they will just focus on glassloot and TC because of the need to be seen more garang than their volunteers...
Faisal is definitely a sgt, he will push for more help for the poor and needy, like most PAP MPs....
Pritam is like a cadet, all sound and thunder only, have not seen anything constructive yet...
only the GG and JJ are acting like officers material but you can see that GG is too timid too scared or maybe just too comfortable with PAP policy...
as for SHow Mao, he is CDF material but right now he is acting like an OOC cadet in parliament...
MIA, massive underachievement from Show Mao....
unlike SDP, SPP, NSP and even DPP, its seem that WP has no policy committee, everything in parliament seem very personality and opinon driven, they seem to think
"I am the MP, my pet topic is this, so i will talk about this in parliament, regardless of whether it s a hot button issue or not."
WP cannot never form the government if all they are contented with is to make the PAP work harder without working harder themselves
in the long run, it can be said that PAP natural shelf life is extended by WP, they do not want to take over from PAP, and they suck all the air from those that are more ambitious
