'Go in together or we don't at all': 4 opposition parties apply to join SDA

Would the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) be welcoming new political parties this coming general election?

A group of four opposition parties — Singaporeans First (SingFirst), People's Power Party (PPP), Reform Party (RP) and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) — sent to SDA a letter two weeks ago requesting to join the alliance, reported The Straits Times (ST).

This marks a change in the bloc's original plan of forming a new alliance led by SingFirst chief Tan Jee Say as announced in January.

Tan explained to ST the group's decision to join SDA: "It will detract from our message/image of a united front if we register another alliance when there is SDA. Hence, we believe it would be good if we could all come together under SDA."

The four parties would "go in together or we don't at all," PPP secretary-general Goh Meng Seng told The Online Citizen.

He believes a united front among opposition parties is necessary to have "even a slight chance of having a good showing", citing the 2011 elections when the parties had echoed the same sentiments, in contrast to the 2015 elections.

"When you do not sing together and say the same thing, it will not amplify."

When asked in January why they didn't join SDA, Goh had revealed that his party did not receive a reply to its earlier request.

Now, in response, SDA's secretary-general Abu Mohamed has confirmed that he received the new letter, but said that a central executive committee meeting must be held before a decision could be made.

The bloc first proposed forming a new alliance in July 2018. Dr Tan Cheng Bock, before he formed Progress Singapore Party in March 2019, was invited to lead the alliance, but he has yet to agree to it.

"I don't want to commit myself just yet," he had said, adding that he hadn't rejected the idea altogether.

SDA was formed in 2001 comprising four opposition parties — Singapore People's Party, National Solidarity Party, Singapore Justice Party and Singapore Malay National Organisation. Now, only the latter two remain in the alliance.

With the release of new electoral boundaries last month, there has been speculation that the next general election will be held soon.

Old faces, same fucking characters. Except for the few scattered votes who are hard core die hard oppie supporters, they ain't going to make any difference or impact.

They aren't going to win the votes of the middle ground sinkies, much less the >300000 new citizens that PAP has added on to the electorate in the last 3 decades. Further, not many of the sinkie Instagram generation of new voters will be impressed with a bunch of old folks either.

Sorry to be realistic, but I won't be surprised that they wouldn't win any seats, not even one.

These guys do not have a manifesto. What will they do if they win. Just oppose PAP is not enough.

Even they have a manifesto, they wouldn't stand a chance.What have they done to engage the new citizen voters? What have they done to engage the young voters? All they whinge about is the usual ISA cold storage shit that doesn't affect the lives of new voters and young voters.

For a start they can improve their self grooming skills and dress more like people who care rather than an old man play tennis hybrid fashionista

The result will still be the same. The only benefit is, they will not lose their Election deposits as compared to going alone as single small party.

I will be happier and may vote them if these clowns volunteer themselves as covid safe distance ambassadors or even organise a service to help those who need help to do grocery shopping, run errands, etc during covid CB lockdown. At least they make themselves useful than regurgitating the same old stale shit.

I be surprised if they do.

At least Benjamin Phwee collabs with bigger opposition party. These small warlords formed alliance sounds like a joke. Expect 3 corner fights with these jokers.
