It is now looking increasing possible that we may have a female PM before 2026.

[brocoli]

indonesia, philippiness, thailand and south korea: they all came from political families.

will singapore has a peasant girl to be the next pm or will it be some princess ?

WP secret weapon come from an illustrious family

If you want to talk about the WP winning the pongol election well let's remember the circumstances. PAP mp palmer had an affair and was forced to resign this obviously brings a very bad rep to the PAP. That incident alone brings the pap downwards combined with the other factors like daily livelihood and everything else makes the PAP hated combined with a newbie to run for like 2 weeks which residents don't even know who he is but clearly know the party that he represents. In any case the PAP had no chance to win. The WP could have fielded a monkey and they would probably had won. Just like what goldendragon wrote even if they fielded more heavyweight PAP personalities they would not have won. This BE shouldn't be used as an example that sg would have a female PM soon. Comeon.

rubbish... PAP won because Dr KOh was a cock...

and WP fielding Li Lian was an a masterstroke, there is no way Png or Gerald could have pull it off

You are right. Is not just WP winning, the margin surprises many too.

Realistically it will not be in 2016 or maybe not 2021. It is be 2026.

We dunno of course and I did not say will happen. But looking at the margin, it just "Look increasingly possible".

Lee Li Lian?

Joking

Why not? After mending the front tooth and going for a total make over, her vote swing could be doubled.

SL cannot La bro..to me she Looks Like a disguntLed step-sister of CinderaLLa..NicoLe just happened to be that younger step sis of SL..

I re-looked at some of Nicole's videos. She sounded juvenile.

Wrong no matter who the candidate was it didn't look likely that the PAP would have won. PAP already brought very bad rep to itself when palmer resigned.

Whether png or gerald could or could not pull it off is just based on opinion and doesn't mean that your opinion actually counts.

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

Not counted? Was she nominated after Peau Thai Part won?

No! She stood as the Number One Peau Thai Party List member and she led the campaigning for the party. The people voted for Peau Thai Party knowing fully that she will be PM if the party won!! Eventually they got a landslide victory (Thai standard).

As such, she was voted by the people! if that does not count, what does?

Yes she is Thaksin's sister. Yes she listen to her brother. But the undeniable fact remains that she is the PM voted by majority Thai people!

Ok i won't take away her glory in clinching the win. What i'm saying that her win wasn't entirely due to her capability but due to her connections like her brother who used to be the PM but was kicked out.


Let's get back to the issue here at hand. It's about someone speculating about a female becoming sg's first pm. Well anything is possible. We cannot predict the future. We can just use present events to try to paint a picture in the future. Singapore might have a significant number of misogynists. Some men might not vote for a woman PM due to the fact that women tend to be sympathetic to one another and the fact that society has drummed into everyone's heads that women are always the weaker gender. With the current laws favouring women and they don't seem to be changing anytime soon male voters would be hesitant about voting a woman PM in case that might give women even more rights. Maybe that wouldn't be the case though after all if you think about it logically a PM would need his party to discuss on the matter at hand before they pass a law but comeon humans are emotional creatures.

Yup might be possible for sg to have a woman pm.

My wish is for SDP and NSP to work together and field Nicole in a SMC in 2016

That Nicole girl should do something from now until the GE. She has the potential to be One Great PM.

Erm..... Can we start her with being an MP first? She does have the potential (to be an MP), but more cultivation and mentoring are required, ditto to LLL We shall monitor how LLL will perform in Parliament down the road. However, if couple with proper guidance from SL and LTK, she should be able to make a name for herself eventually. It will be even better if she quits her day job soon and become a full-time dedicated MP.

As for them becoming PM, definitely not, as per my view.

 

[Fook Seng]

For sure it will be Lily Neo. Any points for me?

Ok, three balls for you.

Quite true. quite true

Honestly, Lily Neo does have the people's interest at heart. But I definitely doubt she's interested in the PM post. Her modest personality does not breed such an ambition.

vote swings dont make you PM/

Unlikely. Maybe Minister for MCYS.

Up your points tonight.
