Why can't the Opposition Parties compete at every wards?

a review for the opposition with regard to their past mistakes, but still, not a single lesson learned.

be it a single ward or GRC, why dun they compete when the elections come? otherwise on earth are citizens and PR to cast their ballots at? I believe they are people who never ever gets to vote on election day, because its a walk-over at their ward. why? because the opposition did not contest at the ward?

no wonder there is a saying, there are no opposition parties and there is only a single party in Singapore. is it because the opposition cant find enough candidates to challenge the incumbent or cant pay for the deposit?

It would be better if they can form a coalition of sorts. I am not sure if I will ever get to see opposition parties winning at least 5-10 seats in parliament in my lifetime, never mind forming the government. even with 10-15 seats, they cant even oppose or obstruct laws passed by PAP in the parliament. that is why, technically speaking, PAP can pass any laws they want in parliament due to their overwhelming majority in parliament.

look into the past elections...

the opposition can't get their acts together to stop bickering with each other to even come up with a united front...

then there are idiotic strategies like the "by-election strategy" where the opposition basically handed the MIW the whole effing parliament even before a single vote was cast...

up to now, no one seems to know what the hell they want to do...

Opposition scared they lost the money . Take part in election need money.

Opposition no brains too, gave power to the PAP smear gang.

sbst275 SG

sometimes the way they make their agenda is really want to laugh.

Like Steve Chia mentioned abt e water conservation tax. Macham sounds as if water is not scare.

Rock^Star SG

i saw on youtube this opposition election rally, this chap was talking about plants obstructing walkways and HDB not doing anything about it.

Hahaha wtf?!?!?

sir_peanuts SG

each candidate $12,000 deposit (not sure if accurate but if wrong will only be more not less), 6-man GRC means $72,000, who can tahan?

if someone can come up with the money he is unlikely to be disgrunted enough to join opposition.

more likely its the smear PAP gang that gave power to the PAP.

We must wait until Lee Kuan Yew is dead for others to rise.

He is the one who destroyed the intellectual and political life in Singapore and created a culture of fear and stifled atmosphere.

We must also get rid of the taiwanese aliens in Singapore like Hum7030 and Vote PAP OUT to Save SG.

Bio-Hawk SG

Simply because they are not allowed to by ur present govt, IDIOT!

Rooney9 SG

like this how to vote the PAP out of power, with the opposition so weak. its no wonder when the PAP propaganda team uttered this, everyone toe the line even if they are unhappy with their policies. if they are ever in power one day, the reserves of singapore will be squandered after 4 decades of wealth accumulation. singapore will be done for when the next elections comes and by then, the landscape of singapore will be irreversibly damaged.

as much as I disliked the influx of FT and other policies, but these opposition parties really are no hoper in challenging for every ward. when are they going to get their act together I wonder? if not now, then when? 100 years from now?

All the opposition talents all destroyed by Lee Kuan yew and he created a stifled, depoliticised and terrorised environment so no political person can develop and rise.

Fuck that bastard Lee Kuan Yew.

sbst275 SG

Maybe you dun even know how 'scrimp' our govt actually is in spending. It's only the tendering process tat's probably becoming complacent.

As for FT... Actually no one in Singapore can really question about it. For one, our forefathers came in as immigrant and/ or like it or not, if w/o them many things can't run smoothly i.e. public buses.

That's quite easy to attack and criticise actually.

The idea that most of Singapore locals were descented from immigrants and somehow this justifies flooding of aliens is total crap.

Rooney9 SG

I am not saying dun allow FT comes to spore shores, but there are just too many of them here. indirectly because of their low wage pay, how do sporeans compete with them? compete with them by taking a lower pay when their pay is already very low?

It is not total crap, unless u are double standard. Verdict finished.

It's complete crap.

Because if we follow this type of rubbish logic, then most states in this world will be flooded and then destroyed by aliens.

Go study some history.

... and i rest my case about the bickering opposition
