Workers' Party did well in terms of overall popular vote (head to head contest with PAP). PAP is marginally behind WP for overall popular vote share

Smaller opposition parties often rejected the idea of the by-election strategy & always wanted to give people a chance to vote without realising the people dun want them to contest in their constituency.

Many of them lost their deposits

Walkovers is good in time of uncertainty

Yes if with only 26 seats contested by the WP

PAP won 87 seats with 49.96% of the popular votes if that is the scenario

Tan Kin Lian got it wrong also... :(

They wouldn't know if WP vs PAP head to head popular vote share % is not publicized in mainstream media.

All the PAP voters and supporters think they won big in GE 2025.

However in actual fact, PAP head to head vote share to WP only increased very marginally, almost negligible from 2020 GE.

Overall Popular Vote

 

[disconsolate]

My conclusion can only be PAP is claiming a strong mandate erroneously.

They couldn't make in roads into WP overall popular vote share % in GE 2025 (same as GE 2020).

Similarly WP couldn’t make in roads into PAP popular vote share. Hence no additional MP seats for WP (except for 2 more NCMP seats).

It's currently around 50/50 at best for both sides from 2020 to 2025, despite PAP having the advanatge of controlling GE electoral boundary changes and new citizen addition to their core support @25k new citizens per year.

To me at least, PAP can and should only say that they have a strong mandate if they have broke WP strong overall popular vote % by at least 5%. It didn't happen in GE2025.

It's just hollow PAP proclamation of strong mandate if one look into the details. Nothing to be proud of.

 

[disconsolate]

So, as long as WP keeps it's party unity, maintain its discipline amongst the team on its value proposition, don't screw up in Town Council management, and most importantly walk the ground and set up its support base in areas they want to contest in 2030 GE, it should be ok.

I talk as if it's so easy, but I also know in reality, it's pure hard work. They do not have access to PA resources unlike the PAP.

So it's going to be a challenge and I hope they live up to it for a better showing in GE2030.

Hopefully by then, they can make in roads into head to head popular vote share with PAP, by a few percentage points.

Then, it should translate into the capture of a SMC and another GRC. Good luck WP!

WP needs to attack more on middle income issues, esp pertaining to the sandwich generation...more healthcare workers like Drs, nurses and social workers joining them can help give the perception of empathy, irregardless...currently there are way too many lawyers

Agree.

I also feel that they should target new citizens too. After all, the rice is already cooked, (whether or not you like the yearly entry of 25k new citizens).

New citizens carry pink ICs and can vote. Their vote matters too.

PAP must be prevented from being the sole beneficiary of new citizens' vote.
