erm... kindly please go back & read the reports for nomination day properly. TT & TCB supporters arrived in buses.
TJS & TKL supporters were only a handful. it is impossible for a small cluster of people to boo so loud & drown the TT supporters, as well as TT behind the microphone. it has to take more than a choir to do so. therefore, it is not only the TJS supporters that heckled TT... it was an uncoordinated & unanimous booing from all other candidates supporters.
backfire or not, politics cant change over night. many of the irrational votes for the incumbent of TT are largely made of ppl who r politially ignorant/ die hard/ dying. to call 35% a clear mandate is the biggest joke civilization has ever seen.
if u havent studied the figures, the incumbent's vote tally is sliding 10% for each GE. within a decade, the opposition would be gaining votes. by the next PE, it is highly possible that there will be a non-establishment EP.
the jeers didnt take place on nomination day 2011 only... the booing shall echo for many years to come
