Is this thread an exercise in fantasy,
and/or furthering self-congratulatory efforts ?
In the first place, how do you intend to measure the efficiency
of managing resources well ?
What is the standard to determine if the resources are well
managed ?
Are you suggesting that all start from an equal basis - with
equal amount of cash resources that are allocated according to
the head count in each constituency ?
Or are you referring to the management of the Financial
Resources of Party Funds - considering that your comments have
referred to the SDP, which has no constituency to manage ?
In this case, are you being realistic with your efforts at
probing the efficiency of political parties managing their
resources well ?
Given the poor political climate in Singapore, where supporters
of the Alternative Parties are marked out for "special
administrative treatment", can any political parties survive
other then the Ruling Political Party ?
Contributors that give "big financial donations" to any
Alternative Political Parties will risk being investigated by IRAS
for special tax audits; while the same harrassing treatment is
not made towards contributors of any amounts to the Ruling
Party.
With the limited resources that is available to the political
parties, would you consider the mileage that each political party
can get per dollar spent to achieve the political agenda set forth
by the political party ?
With different political agendas for different political parties
- how do you propose to have a common standard of measure ?
If based on the criteria of impact
achieved in the publicity of political
education - surely the SDP will clearly have made a bigger
impact at educating the ordinary Singaporeans to be aware
of the present situation that they are caught in ?
By the same standard of measure, the PAP also
has its publicity of political education
- have you considered what is its political agenda and
the content of its political education ?
With regards to the other Alternative Political Parties such as
the WP
