Oppositions must think Big

[VIBGYOR]

Why some people are always winners and others are losers...

Because oppositions cannot think big?

If they are only interested in grabbing a few seats..surely they won't get them?

But if they focus on forming a government....

They will make substantial inroads to the Parliament...

My Think Big Logic works Tioh Boh?

NSP says it intends to contest election on housing issues
By Teo Xuanwei, TODAY | Posted: 31 January 2010 2331 hrs

SINGAPORE: The National Solidarity Party (NSP) has said it wants to engage in a debate on housing issues with National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan.

NSP's Secretary General Goh Meng Seng said it intends to contest the General Election in Tampines over Mr Mah's policy decisions and not over personalities.

The 39-year-old businessman said: "As Mr Mah pointed out correctly, it's not about Mr Mah or about me, but his HDB policy, which will affect this, the next and future generations."

The five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) of Tampines, which is helmed by Mr Mah, is a potential battleground that several opposition parties are eyeing in the next General Election.

Besides NSP, there are indications that the Workers' Party (WP), Singapore Democratic Party and Reform Party may weigh in as well.

Asked to rate NSP's chances at the elections - it has been unsuccessful in four previous attempts - Mr Goh said matter-of-factly: "It's up to us to convince constituents that Mr Mah's decisions are not good. If we fail to do that, we deserve to lose. Nobody owes us anything."

The WP's organising secretary Yaw Shin Leong said no decision has been made as yet whether it will contest Tampines GRC.

I won't say that the Opp can't think big. You have to be realistic.

If the Opp is not ready to form the govt, no sense trying to act and behave as tho they do. The PAP took part in elections in 1955 but reined in their ambitions because they knew they were not ready. So they only fielded a few men, and they got in to the Opp bench. No use capturing power if you can't last - you'll only damage yr self in the eyes of the voters and ruin yr chances in the future. The emphasis is on being a credible Opp first, then a credible alternative.
