He is a determined man. He is a changed man. He raised his kids well.
It is just that his party has baggage, so it is hard for him to cross 50%.
It is not his fault for being unable to cross 50%, they sent Dr Paul Tambyah, and still got defeated.
I agree with you that Dr Paul, Dr Chee and also Dr Tan CB, Mr Low TK, Mr Chen Show Mao can clinched a few SMCs on their own if they contested under WP banner.
Thanks.
Would you agree with me that the SDP brand is more a hindrance than a help? Time for SDP to dissolve?
My worry for CSJ is that other parties may see him as a liability and not take him in.
And also whether the public in sg think CSJ is synonymous with SDP.
I think if CSJ can convince WP to take him in there will be a few synergies
People will see CSJ as being humble enough to step down as a leader and join WP and be under another leadership. The WP brand could be strengthened as well with die hard CSJ supporters.
Of course there is the other possibility where CSJ joined WP and then tried to take over leadership just like he did with SDP and Chiam See Tong and end up destroying the WP.
It is for this reason that I am not optimistic of CSJ ever making it to parliament. There is just so much against him.
I guess he will stick around with SDP and keep doing the same and somehow hoping the result will be different for him. Time is on his side.
However for the other opposition candidates my advice to you is to avoid SDP. Join WP or even PSP. Also avoid all the small small irrelevant parties.
