SDP - Sep 2015 - The Way Forward

Leongsam said:

There's no point working hard to take the country in the wrong direction.

The SDP's policies are too far to the left of the political spectrum. They do not suit a society which worships money.

The harder the SDP works, the further backwards they will slide because they're trying to swim against the current.

The PAP, on the other hand, panders to the greed and selfishness of sinkies. That's why the party is so successful.

The swing voters who agree with Opposition but die die still vote for PAP will be more impressed with candidates living in Bukit Timah and drive Lexus and BMW.

Swing voters will vote for you if they perceive you as someone who is already successful; they will not vote for you to make you successful. It's the same reason people support Man Utd and not Crystal Palace or West Bromich Albion.

Swing voters who openly flirt with Opposition and their supporters suffer from a mental deficit of which is now known as TCB syndrome. They appear to support Opposition by attending Opposition rallies, mingle with Opposition supporters and criticize PAP like a maverick. But when push comes to shove, they suddenly become the "pragmatic and rational" voters who can look at the bigger picture.

In other words, they vote PAP because they agree with Opposition; they vote PAP in order to help Opposition. It's like raising GST to help the poor. They have every good reason to vote for PAP, but they will go at length to explain why they continue to disagree with PAP. Now, isn't that very TCB ?
