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.
It is because the opposition knows that there are not enough
people who will vote for them in each constituency and they know
that many opposition candidates will even lose their deposits.
In other words, the people are not yet pushed to the point where
they will definitely vote for the opposition.
