There's no reason for other opposition parties to close shop yet - WP isn't yet big enough to compete in the whole of Singapore. It's a race against time - can they win a constituency before the WP expands big enough to start a MCF in their constituency?
Difficult to judge on KJ result due to the drama he stirred. The campaigning is only a short 9 days. No one has interests in that. Before the drama, I would expect KJ to secure about 5-7% votes. DL as expected <1%.
Knowing him, he will have it both ways. Remark about a WP win being good and remark about WP will lose. Then either way, he will have something to boast.

I also expected KJ to score higher. In the end PE residents voted tactically. KJ's 1.2% is a slur on his father's legacy.
But to even think that KJ would keep his deposit is really far out. LTK's opposition unity speech will not anger any voters, only supporters/members of other opposition parties. It was a very safe speech to make.
