Workers Party will win in Punggol East.... I can feel it in my bones....

[Force 136]

What if the PAP loses and WP wins another seat?..........Would this win by the WP be seen a milestone of sort that will chart the direction of the next GE?

From the opposition camp, it will be a comforting assurance that things are looking brighter, that the PAP is no longer the party to watch. It will definitely be encouraging for those wanting to join the opposition in the next round. It will be much easier for the opposition parties to recruit more supporters and potential candidates.

On the other hand, those thinking of saying yes after being invited for tea could have second thought. When such a well qualified professional with all the potential to be an office holder could lose to an average Singaporean from the opposition camp, it must mean something. It would be a reminder of Chiam See Tong’s less than pristine academic papers beating an elite, the best of the best that the PAP could find.

The myth that a highly qualified candidate donning the PAP’s white and badge is a sure win formula will be just a myth. It is something else that is the deciding factor. PAP brand, high and impeccable qualifications, big potential, all the praises from the ministers and even the PM would mean nothing now.

Why are you so ahead of the curve? WP not yet win PE, so no need to be so kanchiong spider, analyzing so much on paper.

Same sentiment here... I have been a active reader in old Sammyboy and soc.culture.singapore since the early 90s. Spore netizens have always been overwhelming vocal in supporting Opposition but when it comes to vote and election result, the reality always turns up differently. PAP is still going to win PE.

Yes, like you, Old Uncle have been following this forum since the early days of the old Sammyboy.Despite all the anti-PAP sentiments and predictions,the incumbents have always emerged the winners.

This PE is no different.Yes, it is getting tighter and more difficult with more vocal voices.But the good doctor will walk victorious. The Oppo have to blame themselves for the failure to secure any ground or any justification for another Oppo member in parliament. The Oppo has demonstrated nothing like " silly and immature" antics and theatricals. PAP will remain in power for a long long time.Singaporeans will have to live with this. Unless, there is a Miracle in this small little dot.

I don't even think majority of the Sporean think they have been screwed by PAP policies.. After all these years when I speak to most Sporean, they seem to take all these policies in stride.

pappies win - all peasants get ready for plenty of ky as pappies going to screw the peasants real hard.

my genuine gut feelings is this: Dr Koh will beat Li Lian by a whisker...

How can there be gut feelings when you are under instruction to say it.

 

[RoyMcFarland]

Sincerely hope your bones are right, coz mine says close win for PAP. There's still enough people out there contend with the status quo.

I'll be very happy to be proved wrong....

 

[Equalisation]

hope you do not suffer from osteoporiasis ....:o

As with the experience in previous general elections and presidential elections, netizens tend to have a higher level of optimism than the eventual outcome.

Yes, netizens' optimism tends to be higher than the eventual outcome. But over time, this gap seems narrower and narrower. At GE2011, Aljunied GRC fell, although many netizens were surprised. At BE HG, many netizens had expected a strong vote swing from the WP but were very surprised, including our resident political analyst, with the relatively strong performance of the WP

 

[RoyMcFarland]

Quality of opposition, imo, is an important factor. Look at CSM for example. Pritam as another. Sensible voters will still gauge the academic background of opposition chaps. Inevitable.

Agreed. Quality of ANY candidate is important. However, I think Singaporeans place too much emphasise on academic achievements. We are no longer talking about uneducated or Primary school dropouts as candidates. A hardworking, sincere, earnest candidate with a poly diploma should beat a doctor who has to be asked to join the cause, any day....

Until the winner has been announced, as a partisan worker, he should not speak.

people shouldn't be totally surprised that Aljunied GRC fell. LTK couldn't risk his 16K salary by taking a huge gamble to contest in Aljunied.
