No easy to redraw boundary in 2016

 

[Fool_Me_Hard]

2016 election will be a true watershed election, its will not be easy to redraw boundaries or gerrymander. Most of the eastern side of Singapore got more than 40% for the Alternative Parties. Its better to reduce the GRC size to 2-3 members and the have half or more of the seats as SMCs to minimize the loss of ministers and office holders. PAP will have difficulty attracting talents from the private sector whereas the Alternatives will have an easier time to attract talents. After-all these high salaries and other perks only attract people who join PAP for the wrong reasons like nepotism, greed, materialism, complacency, arrogance, career advancement, lack of accountability they become too big-headed for their own good. Those righteous talents who want to sacrifice for this countries join the Alternatives and don't want to be associated with the devil aka PAP.

The GRCs with close to 50% will most likely be converted to SMCs again. This is to stop the opposition from winning all 4/5 seats at one go.

Eventually, we will see more SMC seats than GRC. PAP never stop to play around to win cheaply and whenever possible, cheatingly.

Losing a few useless ones like Tin Tin, Immortal Charles Chong, Jamban Lee, Donkey Lee and Zorro Lim will be better than losing those heavyweight ministers though.
