That opinion is wrong. LHL would have ordered PA and other agencies to poll whore jinx popularity numbers.
They are meticulous at planning this. Problem is, Sinkies trait of kiasi.
It's a black hole where they don't have a clue the polls numbers skewed by kiasi Sinkies or will the despise of people surface during election.
So their next best bet is only to allow one horse to run.
That's why LHY is mulling it.
