I was a bit disturb by what LTK has said during his victory parade on 27 Jan 13.
"We, the Workers' Party, will play our role entrusted by the people to make sure that the government does its work and where the government has shortcomings. We will point it out and where possible, we will assist wherever we can by giving our opinion. But we are not ready to be the next government or alternative government, and we are clear about this and we do not want to give Singaporeans the false expectation of an alternative government."
"You have to look at the Punggol East by-election in perspective. It is a by-election. It is not a general election. So people in Punggol East have no worries about perhaps you know, if I vote some other way, I might accidentally throw out the government. So the message to them is very clear. The role that the Workers' Party wants to play to them is very clear in my message. I said this is the Workers' Party. This is what we propose to play our role in Parliament - to check on the government, and we give them time. We don't agitate. I think the message got through,"
This statement by LTK may have at least shed 2-3 % of the votes away from opposition come 2016.
If JBJ is still the SG of WP, he could have said the following:
" The result of PE BE show that the voters of Singapore want a change in Government and the WP is ready. I challenge PAP to hold a General immediately. The WP will contest all seat. Let the voters decide who to govern Singapore
Sound so confidence!
The statement by LTK show that he is no confidence and also lack the political leadership materials.
Where in the world is there an opposition that is helping the ruling party.to
When you are in politic and you have win enough voters trust, a lot of individual will volunteer to join you when you have won enough support. You dont even have to worry about not enough resources when the times come.
In fact, looking at the facial expression of LTK during the PE BE press conference show that he felt sorry for PAP.
He felt that 'he has hit his friend too hard'. Taking example you are fighting with someone and he is your friend. You just want to win him, but you hit him too hard and he ended is hospital. You feel sorry for him.
I think singapore need a second opposition party in parliament. If not there will be one day when WP has enough seats , they will from a coalition with PAP. This will be back to square one again
