Who's Maurice?
If sdp contest you will say it is a spoiler
If sdp withdraw you say they chicken out
Damned if u do and damned if you don't.
This kind of mentality coming from you is simply shallow and puerile.

Do you expect any more from a WP supporter?
I thought Chee said he received a reply from Sylvia that gave no indication that WP wanted to work with them?

This is exactly the issue at hand. To say as late as yesterday evening that they will contest and then go on with the wayang of collecting the political donation certificate this morning, to only announce at 4pm today that it is not contesting sends the message to everyone that anything more that comes out of SDP should be taken with a grain of salt.
The RP leader is almost as bad in terms of lack of credibility. In his razortv interview he claims that "those activities" (i.e., distributing fliers etc) his party has been "carrying on for the past 5 years". RP was only established in June 2008, and its current leader took over in 2009. I understand that he was a Hedgefund manager. He cannot count?

Yes. I was fucking them for being so stupid to want to contest.

A true SDP supporter tells it like it is and pushes the SDP to do the right thing. Although it is more accurate for me to say that I'm a general pro-opposition supporter.

After the 3 e-mails were published.
U read too much into this.
SDP is just following the basic an animal instinct of going after what they perceive as easy meat. If you look into their past behavior it always like that. Went Sembawang because of NKF saga, HBT GRC because of YOG.
Did you ever consider it was a last-minute decision - to go ahead and contest and risk losing big, or to pull out and avoid being seen as a spoiler?
Personally, I think it was a difficult decision made at the eleventh hour.
Not true, checked this. Sylvia responded to the second email. The first email and second email was only one day apart.

What the fuck you were saying that Maurice wanted SDP to contest.
Ah, 'all' is too strong. 'Many' would be better.
hmm... am looking at 5% invalid votes :o:o:o
No, it would have been better to get out.
Remember: they were flip flopping. They never unequivocally said that they were going to contest. There was this episode where Paul Thambyah and Vincent Wijeysingha were scouting around in PE at the last minute to sound out people and ask around about their brand name. That is a very clear signal that their minds were not made up until the last minute. Other signals were very clear: Chee's very confused statements, the 3 forms collected, last minute panic emails to WP that got published. Over and over, they said, "we don't know who the candidate is". Over and over, the message is clear: we don't know what the fuck we're going to do.
I'm not going to regard them that badly now they have made the right choice. As it is, things will turn out right for them. Kenneth Jeyaretnam will get slaughtered, and SDP will not have to fight WP for land because they can always carve out RP territory.
Agree. Suspect it was a eleventh hour decision after much deliberation.
A much loved characther from the series Northern Exposure.
Bro Scro used it to describe a powerful behind the scenes player. If you are active and of significance, you would have encountered his people at one time or another.

That being established, it means WP was not wrong not to work with SDP and cannot be accused of being arrogant when they have responded to SDP twice (first time Sylvia, second time Gerald).
