Realistically speaking, I think that there are 3 categories of
voters in Singapore
1. 30% - hardcore PAP supporters
2. 30% - hardcore anti-PAP supporters
3. 40% - apolitical Singaporeans who prefer not to be involved,
or who do not have the guts to vote against the PAP
The PAP knows that there is nothing they can do about the 30%
anti-PAP group. All they can do is to swing the voters their way
through the 3rd category of voters.
Unfortunately, it's VERY easy to make use of these voters. Just
give them GST credits, they will vote for the PAP.
Why do I think it's split like this? It's because the PAP cannot
win more than 70% of votes now.
Huh?? Uncle, u took the wrong medicine ar???
Before anything begin, PAP already got 80% voters, then slowly
some move away and it will end up with 70% or below, they already
got 1/2 million of voters in NTUC as members, 3/4 million in RC, CC
and Youth PAP in their favor, another 3/4 million Civil servants
including arm forces in their favor. Then you come to local
business the rich, most towkay and towkay family making rich here
will vote for them too, that will be another 1/2 million, so, total
1.5 millions is already in their favor.
