What I find most sad is that many of my friends laugh and shrug
off these things by saying that 'Look, when you're in power, of
course you'll do everything you can to make things difficult for
your opponents.'
I'm having an extremely difficult time convincing them that you
can't really reconcile that with the very ideals of
democracy.
Why do the PAP have to tell us that 'Hey... they're in the wrong,
they had better change their manifesto.' Why not let the voters
decide for themselves? If the PAP is so convinced that they're
right, then the voters will give them their approval at the polls.
If the WP is in the wrong, then the voters won't vote for the
WP.
It seems to me that the ruling party can't trust Singaporeans to
decide for themselves....
