this a good chance to see which parties the ppl trust. instead of claiming to be the best opposition, the BE will once and for all let all know which party the ppl trust most of all.

SDP to contest Punggol East SMC BE
- Thread starter wikiphile
- Start date
TPL have consistently been championing healthcare issues in Parliament compared that to
PEH - who havent done anything yet(and to be fair still a bit early to do anything)
Pritam - consistently embarrassing himself in Parliament
The rest of the Aljunied team who seem to be competing with each other on who can make the least noise
When one can easily come up with something that TPL is championing yet struggle to find something that the entire WP team have been doing, I think the statement have some truth in it. The biggest disappointment is probably CSM, all the hype, yet done absolutely nothing in Parliament. The silence from the WP camp is so bad that I've seen a few of their supporters defending their inaction in Parliament with their work in their own GRCs, eh doesn't TPL have a GRC she needs to take care of as well?

SDA's claim on the ward? Judging by the SDA's score, I'd ask "claim what?".
With 3CF, 4CF or more, it WILL be an upset if the White Scums lose.
Respectable score, yes, good exposure. Lose deposit, example the Fatty Desmond's way? I think not.
And with 3CF, 4CF or more, maybe all Oppo candidates will go the Fatty Desmond's way.
i think WP wouldn't be too upset with not winning the seat ( first objective ) but the realization of the secondary objective is necessary so that the By-election is not a waste of time for them - to show rest of Opposition parties: WP is King. pointless to fight with WP for Opposition votes. it will also send a strong signal to NSP to fuck off from Tampines in GE2015.
With such a pathetic Oppo momentum going at the moment, I think only the White Scums can claim they are not wasting their resources.
I thought VW/SDP already said they are not after any gay agenda?
The seat choping argument makes no sense unless there is a credible link or evidence of a link being forged in a serious manner. Even then that is only part of the equation. The second part is to allow the best candidate available to contest. I am fully aware that every man and his dog has the right to contest but the seat choping argument is not even a valid argument in the first place. These are not musical chairs.
I am also concerned that people perceive this as a stand endorsed and approved WP CEC. I am sure they are more sensible than that. I am also sure that sometimes there has to be some level of play-acting to retain the loyalty of the lesser lights within the party especially those who worked the ground in the ward in question. You simple can't write them off and give up on the ward. You got to give them time to take it in that they might not be able to cut the mustard compared to a better candidate from another opposition party that is prepared to stand.
In the Moulmein case, NSP had very little ground to stand on based on past performance. And frankly the long standing people behind NSP always had questions marks.
Working the ground has also carried a level of importance that does not correspond with expectations of an MP. How an MP fairs in Parliament, his effectiveness in serving his constituents and his role in contributing to the national agenda far outweighs his links to the ground or how familiar he or she is with the people in his chosen ward.

Of course, because Mr I'm-always-correct aka Mr I-always-have-the-last-word said so
.
Not from whatever intel I'd gathered from the kopitiams. Where did you get yours?
===EDIT===
However I also agree WP should withdraw if there is going to be 3CF, 4CF or more. No point contesting when the result is more or less concluded. Might as well move whatever candidate/resource allocated to Punggol East to elsewhere and let the voters there repent.

There will come a time to be robust in Parliament.
It's definitely not now, when the White Scums has absolute control over any and everything.
TPL? Out-of-depth Tin Tin? 1st April was long over. The next one is still a few months away.
Which country's Parliamentary sessions have you been watching, accidentally?
Strangely when I Google "Tin Pei Ling parliament" I found a lot of links on Old White Scum walking off when out-of-depth spoke, a Facebook page asking for her to be removed as MP, about her "stomping feet", but zero about her touching on healthcare. Care to help?

Tell me who else you are interested next.
Opposition unity disappeared since last GE.
WP opened up a pandora's box that cannot be close again. It was a foolish thing they did unless they saw themselves as PAP partner

Does that mean WP is aiming to make it a duopoly? It's an improvement from a monopoly but still far from a healthy competition that always, always benefits the consumers.
Frankly, all CSM does is photo ops. Full of fluff n hot air.
You are just living in self denial.
It is not just me who are saying WP's performance is really mediocre, dude.
Even for JJ, I would say that you cannot be "ONE ISSUE MP" for all your life! No doubt he is good in his pet issue, education, but no, you can't just be ONE ISSUE MP.
And it is NOT just CSM's performance that has dropped far below expectation, it is almost all WP MPs.... Well, for one thing you are right, I cannot just blame single person for that "Lucky Draw for VOTE" kind of blunder. ALL Aljunied GRC MPs should be responsible.
