“We’ll Walk Alone!” Low Thia Khiang
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/why-wp-walks-its-own-path--low-thia-kiang-155714779.html
Finally, “独孤虾” Low Keh Khiang, has announced that he wants to walk alone and forge his own path, without desiring any other non-Vichy WP Opposition supporters to joining him.
Vichy WP is basically a very conservative party with its base supporters being hardcore conservatives. Uniting them with liberal supporters is an “unrealistic vision and an impossible dream”, “because such a union would not work out well.” Vichy WP “will not only not be able to progress, but will conversely end up disintegrating.”………just like SDP back in 1997 when the then conservative Chiam tried to work with the liberal Chee.
In fact, “独孤虾” seems to be blaming the liberal Opposition supporters for the “disarray in the Opposition camp” as he points finger at them for causing the decline of SDP:

So, Vichy WP, which has never ever spoken up on any liberal issue both inside and outside the parliament, will continue to ignore and abandon the pleas of all liberal Opposition supporters, as promised by “独孤虾”.
Different opposing parties join hand-in-hand: “We’ll Never Walk Alone!”

When you walk through a Lightning
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the Hammer
At the end of the Lightning
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark
Walk on...
Through the Lightning...
Walk on...
Through the Hammer
And your dreams be tossed and blown...
Walk on…
Walk on...
With hope
In your heart...
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone…
Walk on…
Walk on...
With hope
In your heart...
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone…

"The opposition is a convoluted, complicated thing -- made up of different people, different parties, different leaders, different ways of questioning the government, even."
Low explained that is why after the 1997 general election, which saw the opposition MP count halve from four to two, the WP "decided to forge its own path."
"Singapore is a democratic country. Anyone can form their own party and stand for election. There are different opposition parties that have different opinions, different priorities and differing manners in handling things. Which model best works for Singapore?”
"Uniting all the opposition parties is an unrealistic vision and an impossible dream. Unity must not be contrived, because such a union would not work out well. We will not only not be able to progress, but will conversely end up disintegrating, and Singaporeans will lose faith in the possibility of a credible opposition."

Speaking in Mandarin, Mr Low explained why his party decided to go its own way by pointing to how fractures in the Singapore Democratic Party in the ’90s had resulted in disarray in the Opposition camp, which, in turn, caused voters to lose confidence in opposition parties.
So, Vichy WP, which has never ever spoken up on any liberal issue both inside and outside the parliament, will continue to ignore and abandon the pleas of all liberal Opposition supporters, as promised by “独孤虾”.
