For the sake of some accuracy, your various points will be addressed in their respective parts :- Was the SDP ever strong under the leadership of Chiam See...

If that's their tactics, all the more dumber. Giving more excuses to PAP to remove them

Dumb not dumb, depends on individual.

That is the path they chose.

Some call it dumb, some call it brave.

I call it brave.

You call them dumb, that is your business.

So what if you want to call it brave. Go get jailed, or get bankrupt, can only become a barking dog with no teeth.

That's dumb because by doing so, they can't even contest properly with full force.

Just like, would you call Osama dumb? Or would you call him brave?

Ah Chia SG

Well, at least we can be sure that what ever opposition that managed hold itself together despite the disadvantage of being challengers instead of incumbent, it will be a strong opposition.

yah, sure, not clear to you, ok...

Ya ya ya, super clear.

eagle SG

Need me to repeat my reply to this?

Got people come and go, I consider not that stable now.

Like that every party in Singapore is not stable. Duh.

Then how?

Ah Chia SG

So what if you want to call it brave. Go get jailed, or get bankrupt, can only become a barking dog with no teeth.

But they gained a lot of online followers.

Followers want to vote them also cannot.

Not my issue.

I didn't raise the issue of political parties stable or unstable.

i didn't know you have to state that point. it is like... so obvious....

By the way, those who think my post not clear sound out now, just want to see how many people don't get it. my prediction: one.

Ah Chia SG

If they can't even contest, what's the use?

Too early to tell.

Anyway one more opposition follower means one less PAP vote.

That is my main goal.

It's your issue. You said this in reply to skythewood:

If we follow your logic, SDP should be strong correct?

I telling you if we follow his logic, SDP is not strong, because of SDP can't hold itself together in my opinion, which I have told you why.

Simple reason: Which political party's Secretary General wasn't allowed to contest at all during GE2006? You tell me.

eagle SG

It doesn't matter to PAP.

One less opposition to contest means possibly one more walkover for PAP. That's their main goal.

Ah Chia SG

Well, at least we can be sure that what ever opposition that managed hold itself together despite the disadvantage of being challengers instead of incumbent, it will be a strong opposition, not some losers who get pwned and cry foul all day.

In the first place, what do you mean by "strong" opposition?

eagle SG

In the first place, what do you mean by "strong" opposition?

Strong opposition means one that will possibly be able and has the means to replace PAP.

eagle SG

i didn't know you have to state that point. it is like... so obvious....

Was only being practical and logical

Ah Chia SG

It doesn't matter to PAP.

It matters to me.

I telling you if we follow his logic, SDP is not strong, because of SDP can't hold itself together

He did not make it clear what he means by "strong".

It is strong in gaining votes during elections or strong in keeping party united and free from internal conflicts.

Ah Chia SG

Strong opposition means one that will possibly be able and has the means to replace PAP.

I was referring the question to the one who made the posting in the first place.

It matters to me.

So? If you can't even vote for SDP, even if it matters to you, can you do anything about it?

He did not make it clear what he means by "strong".

You might have a point here. But then, you should have phrased your question clearer this way earlier, not post the whole paragraph of his and declare it is not clear.

Strong opposition means one that will possibly be able and has the means to replace PAP.

I was referring the question to the one who made the posting in the first place.

ok. I was giving my opinion

skythewood SG

Strong opposition means one that will possibly be able and has the means to replace PAP.

I support your view of strong opposition. yay.

Ah Chia SG

So? If you can't even vote for SDP, even if it matters to you, can you do anything about it?

Too early to tell.

Ah Chia SG

I support your view of strong opposition. yay.

Why you never state that in your original post?

eagle SG

So? If you can't even vote for SDP, even if it matters to you, can you do anything about it?

Too early to tell.

How can it be too early to tell when it is a theoretical question to you? You mean it is still too early to give a reply whether you or they can do anything if you can't vote for them?

And back to your original sentence:

But they gained a lot of online followers.

I would say they also turned away and irked many would-be followers. It works both ways.
