I think there has been a change. The younger voters below 40 are not happy.

So in new estates like sengkang you saw what happened.

Otherwise the older parents still have a strong influence on their children.

Based on the increase in non PAP MPs elected, the share of the votes, nd close fights, I believe that there is hope, because these results will encourage more individuals to step forward for the next general elections.
Inspite of the odds and obstacles, the Workers Party and its volunteers have done well.
Keep it up.

Someone with the same sentiments finally.....not sure what the hullabaloo is all about......

after ten years we are back to square one?

Swing a little here and there basically nothing has changed fundamentally......Singapore is fundamentally still the same.....and the situation might be untenable now.....with foreigners at 50 percent.hoe many more elections do sinkies have before we pass the point of no return and are truly farked?maybe we are already farked....I mean can u really reverse things at this point,does it feel the same....?I think sg past the point of no return.

What is this some kind of TV show or soccer match,win or lose doesn't matter life goes on as usual there's the next FIFA world cup.

i dunno how many more 10 years I have in me.....maybe not even one more

Female army general also can win! Really shake my head!
I have come to this conclusion that Sinkies luv the PAP... Everyday kpkb but still vote them in!

a lot of elderly parents from hougangbanger sold their flats in hg and moved in with their adult children in senglongkang. they brought the wankers' votes over.

Sinkies vote Pap candidates based on party brand, but vote oppo party based on party candidates

Post mortem
1) The young generation has different set of priorities and expectations.
2) The GRC created to mute the eloquent/charismatic contester is no longer effective in the age of growing digital media.
3) Party branding is important. WP’s long term branding of itself as a political responsible opposition is paying off. People are no longer afraid of a bogeyman as in the past, being implanted by the incumbent into the mind of the people.
4) Myriad of social, economic and political issues that are suddenly dug out, instead of showing the incumbents are mind-over-matter, showed how incompetent and ineffective the incumbents have been.
5) growing savviness, awareness and ability to question the status quo as the older, useless generation slowing exiting the political landscape.

oppo are all fartup lah
never learn from past experiences
still divided still individualistic still immature kpkb
no concrete unity
simply useless and ineffective
dr ang, dr paul , dr tan , dr chee ,mr lim tean, nicole seah,pritam, sylvia ...all worked very hard
you hear some of the oppo candidates broadcasts you go to sleep
the bad impression stays and they are reflected inside the voting booth
the oppo really gave a very bad and lousy image
and some don't even turn up for their broadcasts
lidat how to win people hearts - in the end all mati one by one
but just too individualistic - all lost
why can't they just unite under one umbrella!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dumbfuck oppie voters still looking to party brand. How else can WP win?
Party candidates branding somewhat correct with regards to TCB who was helped by LHY
But when opposition can still only managed 20-30% of votes against this fucked up PAP in some wards....you know we are still stuck in LKY era time

 

[yinyang]

New water shed point, breaking the 70% grip -on top of retaining Hougang + Aljunied, winning Sengkang.
Despite being the handouts (from OUR reserves)

 

[theblackhole]

sinkies are still shaking and trembing
afraid to try new people
afraid to rock the boat
afraid to vote otherwise
afraid of this afraid of that afraid of everything
the fear is real - very real for those who had faced it
so don't blame the sinkies
they are always afraid to do otherwise ...

so better don't rock the boat

[Narong Wongwan]

GRC system still working its magic with dumbo voters unwilling to vote out fucked up ministers.
Suggest next time have 5 GRCs enough. North south east west and central

Most voters don't want to change the PAP government because in spite of its flaws, the PAP government had done fairly well as compared against neighbouring governments or those in the developed societies. Covid-19 had killed hundreds of thousands worldwide, while barely 30 people died in Singapore, mostly foreigners.

Even the kind of oppies that sinkies prefer are the oppies who behave almost like PAP in public policy. Sinkies mostly reject oppies like JBJ, Lim Tean, Chee regardless of how eloquent they come across. These oppies have public policies that are too different from PAP.

 

[Narong Wongwan]

Some dumbfucks are already celebrating this as an oppie victory. Really shake head.
Won one battle and lost the entire war.
Now waiting for that one fatal mistake that will do us all in. Covid isn’t over yet

Without the gerrymandering the opposition would easily deny PAP the two third majority.

Another factor would be the unprecedented wider msm coverage given to the opposition.

I have been observing local politics since the 1979 by elections and in all local elections from then to-date I have never seen the opposition being given such wide extensive relatively fair and balanced msm coverage, both on the telly and in print.

Very refreshing and a very pleasant surprise.

Hope to see this continue and perhaps become even more balanced and fair in the next GE and beyond.
