Support Opposition Parties

durai SG

I presume that there might be an election coming soon.

We should seriously consider voting for the opposition parties.

It's not that PAP is really that bad. They have done well in some situations but badly in others. The main reason is that there isn't enough "alternate" voices in the parliment to speak up for the general public.

PAP, without strong opposition parties, has grown too proud and conceited for the good of S'pore.

Most of us just say there isn't enough good opposition parties around for them to consider. I think it is not entirely true. We should try attending the various meetings held by the opposition parties as well as check out their websites to know exactly what they are doing. There are really some good and serious candidates in opposition parties!

Over-throwing PAP is definitely not a good idea as they have very good experience in governing S'pore. But to have more people checking on the ruling party is what we desperately need!

Give them a chance so that we in turn will have a better future in S'pore.

What opposition parties that exists, are either not good enough or too weak to stand up against almighty PAP.

No point voting them - I'd vote for none.

durai SG

Not really. Some really do have some good credentials. I'm not rooting for any particular party members so I'll not advertise for them.

It's just that it's still better to have some opposition than none.

ShutterBug SG

You think "they" will allow for more oppositions?

FFH!

I'm sure KMT in Taiwan did not "allow" too. It's history is longer than the PAP. Its dominace was also greater as compared. But because a certain Mr. Chen Shui Bian did not give up and kept fighting for his rights(although I don't agree with what he did and what he is currently doing), he managed to over-throw KMT! Isn't that a form of inspiration for us all?

I'm not even advocating over-throwing PAP. I just hope we have more opposition parties in the parliment.

LinYu SG

voting for none is equivalent to voting for them ruling party.
Think. use your head before you decide.

Salman SG

Cos the opposition got no guts.

nanren4ever SG

Do not have opposition party in the parliament/government just for the sake of having one. What’s the point of having them in the government if they do not have the credientials and ability to improve/continue our lives?

AF2005 SG

at least those staying in opposition wards should vote for their oppostion MPs if they find them okay if not better than ruling party.

shade343 SG

Whats the point of destroying your vote? It acheives nothing. Let us give our opposition a 2nd chance. Yes, They have fumbled, but so has the ruling party. everyone makes mistakes.

goh meng seng SG

Dear ShutterBug,

Why would you belittle yourself?

The power lies with you whether opposition members go into parliament or not, NOT PAP! You are the real boss, so to speak.

Salman SG

Very true, there are no good opposition in Singapore. No point bringing them into power.
And the reason why we don't have good opposition is, good people won't join the opposition, some crappy people do. And these crappy folks think they are very intelligent. They are not. And they think all Singaporeans think like them. Thats why they do badly in elections.

dragg SG

i agree. some crappy people think they are very intelligent.

Salman SG

Yes sir, thats right, you are one of those crappies.

cheers
