Opposition parties need to merge& form Coalition party

Rooney9 SG

the opposition parties in Singapore are disparate and fragmented. Wouldnt it be better to merge and form a coalition party to challenge PAP. that way the coalition party have pool resources together and candidates and win at least a GRC and few single seats from PAP.

The Liberals ? Haha..

0% chance. SDA breaking off into 2 big fragments this time round - spat between Chiam and Desmond.

SDA used to comprise a lot of opposition parties, with NSP inclusive, but also has broken off.

Clivebenss SG

As long as there is no 3 corner fight, the chance is higher. Not necessary to merge.

Rooney9 SG

what chance and resources if each party are to contest as separate and independent party. look at other countries, where opposition parties form a coalition. that way they stand a much better chance, as compared to a single party.

Rooney9 SG

frankly speaking, how long can Chiam continue as a lone fighter and lone voice in the parliament? he is frail and old. will this be his last election or next election will be his last?

Agree. They can work hand in hand on terms they agree on for elections. Rather than form an alliance and than run into problems and end up in a spat.

as long as S'poreans continue to live like ignorant mice...............no one can save them............

i've long suspect that the opposition leaders are actually working for the PAP too.............

especially that Dr Chee...........he tries too hard to be viewed as a radical nut...............

unless got opposition party backed by a billionaire..............then maybe something will happen........

to resist LKY............you must have guts and money............brains not as important...........

They can form coalition if they won not necessary to merge or forge alliance.

you need a gutsy and wise leader to unite the parties. I doubt we will ever find such a opposition leader in Singapore.

You need a shrewd and conniving one.

Brand needs to upkeep its branding. Sometimes brand can be a liability.

onźźa SG

Sinporeans won't bother. Brands to show off.

Rooney9 SG

have you heard this before? the higher you climb, the harder you fall. PAP has climbed so high up, its time they fall down hard. unless you tell me, they will remain the top forever.

onźźa SG

They will remain top.

Clivebenss SG

time will tell.

onźźa SG

No parties their match.

Rooney9 SG

I rather the opposition pool their resources and money and candidates and contest at every seat. this way, we will not have people who want to vote for opposition and then realise they cant vote due to walkover.

SDA is a failure.

SPP fighting among themselves.

PKMS fighting among themselves.

NSP pulled out years ago.
