That is why the recession is good for change. When rice bowls are broken people will be desperate enough to look for change. Same thing for the 40% die hard PAP supporters when money not enough they might consider looking for change.

LHL is not LKY & hope some of these 40% will realise this . Otherwise there is no hope for Spore.

Even a stupid investor will not make this type of loss.

Only an investor who is not using his own money will make this type of loss.

Among those who won't vote for pap are those who will only vote for WP. If their ward's opposition party is not WP, they may spoil their vote or not turn up.

Among those die hard sinkies who are pap supporters are those who are impressionable and easily manipulated, the materialistic types who think they can get future benefits and those who just want to maintain the status quo because life for them is still fairly decent.

I figure 30% will never vote for PAP
no matter what. 10-20% are swing votes. They can go either way. The 2011 election, 10% when over to the oppo and that's why they had 40% of the votes. This last election, they came back to the PAP. 20% are not PAP supporters but will always vote PAP because their livelihood is dependent on a bloated govt bureacracy. That leaves 40% die hard sinkies who are PAP supporters..
