Lessons for Politicians from this By-Erection

[LeMans2011]

The electorate is NOT STUPID.
The electorate will NOT BE THREATENED.

No matter what bull crap you cook up, the electorate is able to make their own judgement.

PAP, SDA, RP - all paid their price for treating their electorate as stupid.

The only way to win is to be sincere to serve the electorate.

To be honest, Desmond and Kenneth class of politicians have expired their shelf life.
Today's electorates are more savvy and discerning.

As for Desmond, gone were the days when any Tom, Dick and Henry can count on
garnering opposition sympathy's votes.

Kenneth should realised by now that name dropping does not buy a lot of mileage
with an educated and media savvy electorates.

Also, with better qualified candidates backed by more "established and credible" political
parties, their candidates will increasingly outperform the old guards like Desmond and
Kenneth.

It will do them good to have a honest self reflection and stock taking on their political
future after this fiasco.

Lessons for:

KPK--Don't say I'm my own man and then have the fake Rear Admiral and fake BG along with you.

DL-- You never heard of "once is enough?"

KJ-- Police reports are useless. So what if your son was threatened? Why can't he study in Singapore?

LLL--Urm, smile now. You have to fight again come 2016.
