Will there be elections in 2010?

[johnny333]

In the past weeks the the global economies has retreated again. Markets are tumbling :(


No green shoots to help Sporeans. PAP is still hiding in their ivory towers. Still looking 5 years ahead when Sporeans are suffering TODAY.

Nope I don't think they dare to hold early elections but can they wait until 2011

If the IRs turn out poor results, not this year by a long shot. Unless they are prepared to give each voter $2000 in Share Singapore Success Story credits.

will be postponed .... as the tigress is angry ..... very angry !!:o

 

[methink]

The old emperor cannot wait for the elections any much longer as his time is running out!

I predict it is sooner than later.

SINkingporeans are a pathethic lot of people, only here & no where else in the world...the election is not a FIXED DATE, We have to guess is it now, is it .....

The release of the electoral boundaries map will tell us elections is coming, within 6 months.

will PAP call for GE then tell their grassroots to start work or it's more likely PAP grassroots receive the notice to start work, get ready as PAP will call for GE anytime. If it's the later, expect news to start leaking out. Peoples like to talk.

I dun understand why you pple keep getting orgasm every night hoping for early elections. The elections is not due until late next year. No government in the world will give up power 1 year early for no good reason and seriously there isn't a good reason("good reason" in most countries for premature elections usually means mass riots, rebellions or a military coup)

I think our last few GE are always held a year earlier in advance, that's why many are thinking GE will be held this year.

The current bleak global economies climate might make PAP chose to hold GE next year.

Hold GE earlier give you the element of surprise. Our next GE is due by Feb 2012. If PAP hold GE at Dec 2011, even our usual sotong oppositions would be well prepared already.

Pinkie already said in the newspaper, will be at 2012 liao lah

With the exception of GCT taking over as PM, last few GEs all took place after close to 5 yrs going by that trend it still won't be until early 2011 that they will hold elections.

Speaking of Elections, anyone here remembers when Nathan will be due for another election?

6 years is the limit. A full term is 5 years but there's 6 months grace period post-last election to call Parliament into session and another 6 months grace period to call for election after the term is up.

An elected president who has never encountered election. Uniquely Singapore again.

He's selected president (by 3 "wise" men) and not elected president (by people).
