GMS: Political oppositon will never be the same again after LKT's speech

[kingrant]

I thought LTK made a lot of sense in explaining why WP rejected the overtures of SDP and other calls for Opp unity. He is completely valid to say that political parties will be as different as their leaders, aims and vision are different, so why go to sleep in same bed but have different dreams? Other rival Opp parties must get their act together, strengthen themselves, for only then they can negotiate with a strong hand. Nobody wants a loser to be a freeloader. If WP makes way for SDP, RP or SDA, will SDP or any other necessarily be able to win in PE? If not, then one chance has been lost to some one better. I believe voters and all of us want to see us take on the PAP with our strongest hand, not our weaker one, just for sake of Opp unity. If we do so with our weaker hand, everyone loses except PAP. If all the others are as strong and as winnable, then Opp unity or coming to some sort of accord to take on PAP makes more sense.

He was right in indirectly implying SDA was a example of opposition unity gone wrong. Look how little it has achieved and Chiam no longer in the picture.

Anwar spends less time contributing to sbf.

If Anwar can do it in Mudland with so much corruption and killings going around, why cant He do the impossible in peaceful Singapore?

Who's that calling me?

Also alot of the Oppos in singapore are nothing but third rate sorry excuses for clowns,,parties like SDA, RP etc does nothing to enhance the standing of the oppos,,only WP is professional enough to challenge PAP,,with this third rates around,,PAP will continue getting support, if WP deals with these clowns,,WP will get hurt in the process

Very well said, kingrant. My thoughts and sentiments exactly.

GMS really cho lao kui. if he hang on and stop behaving like a indian chief and let LTK lead, GMS might even face pap in Hougang during 2011 GE and won the seat!!! then he will be legend of oppositions and seeing as 2nd man to LTK. but his big head gets too big for WP and think LTK is one indian chief instead of himself. now after sometime, it is obvious that who has the last laugh. definitely not GMS. GMS must be squeezing his balls in his bed tossing and turning around into the sleepless night.

I am telling you the truth. 3013 is the time you need before you can make arguments. This forum and all intellectual discussions are not for you.

I can understand his argument and can agree with him. But I cannot agree with the timing of this explanation. Although it might gain some votes from people sitting on the fence carrying doubts but it will also chase away hard core supporters of the other parties.

He can defend his performance in parliament but this doesn't seem appropriate to be brought up at this time, maybe somewhere in between elections, giving himself several additional rounds of clarification.

I am sure it will be picked up in the rallies tonight. Something need to be put up in Facebook, blogs and forum tonite to counter that.

LTK should have at least met with other parties rather than ignoring them altogether and then made this statement.
He lacks political astuteness n will never run Singapore

Disappointed the GMS never compete in BE. Sigh.

After the BE, he will come here to bullshit how he already anticipated the results. But if you ask him to put his prediction now he will keep quiet.

 

[Kinana]

We predict a win for PAP.

"WE" as in Kinana and GMS?

OMG he is under PAP payroll like you.

imo. it's not chasing away hardcore supporters of the other parties, it is actually futile to win them over. so might as well gain some votes from other group of people.

Every party has kinds of people that they can never win over. PAP can never win over the hardcore desire to have an alternative. WP those who want to demolish PAP. SDP those who want moderate approach.

The trick is to win over who is the majority while at the same time changing minds and perceptions.
