7 MPs plus 2 NCMPs. WP can form a Shadow Cabinet

[Thick Face Black Heart]

win seats loh :o:o:o

Well said.

The real purpose and advantage of having a shadow cabinet is to show the electorates that you party is ready to form a government when needed. The members of the shadow cabinet will be subjected to scrutiny from the public on the suitability for the ministerial role - their performance in debates, relevant work experiences, etc will be examined.

Trying to force the formation of a shadow cabinet now will turn out to be a big PR disaster for WP. Afterall, Mr Low Thia Khiang himself recently said that the WP is not ready to form a government. Having a shadow cabinet will pretty much contradict what he has said. The current MPs that WP have in parliament are also not suitable for the shadow cabinet roles available.

Some patience is needed here. WP will eventually form a shadow cabinet when it becomes strong enough to be able to form an alternative government. To get there, WP will need to attract candidates with good experience with public policy. Former PS or PPS like Tan Jee Say and Benjamin Pwee, minus the ego, would be great. Then stick them into GRCs that the WP are looking to win from the PAP.

He does have to name it a shadow cabinet but rather specify which MP and NCMP to tackle which Ministry. Right now, all we have are 7+2 firing questions what ever they are interested in

Isn't it very clear? Poke holes into PAP's plans. Why do you want to reverse the role and be used for target practice? Don't see the intelligence there.

It is not reversing anything

 

[Fook Seng]

It is not reversing anything

If you mean is WP an antithesis to the PAP? No it is not. SDP probably is.

 

[mojito]

That would be folly. More chinks would be exposed in WP's armour.

Sigh. You people dont know that this style of parliament would really check the PAP Ministers

I think rather than hoping for a shadow cab, we should be asking how effective can they be.

You see oz parl or uk parl, it is adversarial, mps must be able to think on their feet, (eg. youtube gillard screwing abott or PM question time for uk pal).

Here you ask qn, pappy will cry mother, cry father and sue your ass and even hound you out of the cuntry.

I feel shadow cab can wait till oppo is more institutionalized in the spore conscience

Point duly noted. But my stance remains.

Yes the whoel sG parliamentary style should be revamp. But once we have PMQs in Singapore, Pinky Lee will melt away.
