Why not have two Presidents? At least then its not just one keyholder to the reserves.
Maybe they want to share the Presidency. You take had the term I take the other half. Or one is Vice Pres (Biden) the other is Pres.Why not have two Presidents? At least then its not just one keyholder to the reserves.
These are realistic people. The main intention is to give the PAP a run for their money. Permutations are being worked out.

2 must step down/pull out to have a real fighting chance.
TJS can garner at least 40% if all opposition votes stand behind him in one on one.
Any straight fight, Tony Tan will win. This is based on the GE2011 results; meaning, if this Presidential Elections is to be fought as PAP vs Opposition, PAP will win about 60% or slightly less while the other "opposition proxy" will win about 40% plus minus.
It is important for TCB to stay in the game as he will split TT's votes. A three corner fight in this case is the best chance to take TT down. This is why PAP decided to make it a four corner fight.

I agree with 2 pulling out. Now that Scrobool mentioned that TJS and TCB are in talks, the ball is now in TKL's court. But I still feel that something is not right. Surely the ruling party must have calculated that there is a risk of 2 persons withdrawing thus making it a 2 person fight which will make it really tough for TT. Or are they confident that some of the candidates are too egoistic to even consider pulling out?
TT will win and no need to open EP floodgate for future fund managers

if your reasoning is correct, just issue coe to TT and TCB will do...

If only approve TCB and TT, TT may lose. Because TCB may get 30-40% of the PAP votes, plus oppo votes. Throw in the other 2 to split oppo votes and pin down TCB, TT wil win.

The EP floodgate is open to future senior civil servants and not fund managers.
PAP wants to keep the door open in case PAP needs to field senior civil servants.
