"That I have to be cautious about and I urge Singaporeans to be very cautious regard to translating the online sentiment to the actual reaction and response on the ground.
They are two very different things. You know the online world, it’s a unique political theology there, there are echo chambers and it can give you a false sense of comfort as to what the position is on a particular issue, so as far as the Workers Party is concerned, our focus is always be to work hard on the ground, because that’s where it really matters.
I think the online world is not something we ignore but given that it is an important part of peoples lives, can’t be absent from it obviously. So, we try our best and we never make the mistake interpreting an online behavior and online support to actual support. It would be dangerous to do so, so what the team have done for more than 6 months now is to be very focused on what sort of election we want to run, and we have given it our best shot."
