MPs are the cheapest, smartest, most honest… estate cleaners?
The town council “issue” is at best nothing more than an interesting side show where parties take pot shots at each other. m&d-slinging and character assassination is fun to watch, but does little to address our everyday concerns. The real and bigger issue is that the PAP has thus far not demonstrated a more compelling reason for winning back votes from the opposition other than niggling about who is best, cheapest, smartest and most honest at sweeping the streets clean.
Once again, we see the PAP intent on turning a nation-wide general election into a municipal contest. For a party of its size and much-vaunted calibre of candidates, is this the best that it can manage?
Oddly, the opposition parties seem to have a better grasp of what their role is in government
