GE2020 61.24% vs GE2011 60.1%, which one worse?

[Laneige]

If only LHY contested in Tanjong Pagar, the overall mandate for PAP is definitely less than 60%.

Wasted sia, this watershed election really wasted for PSP.

People need to understand majority seem wary of him if he runs for election
So it’s gd he’s doing behind work instead

 

[SCHNOTTZ]

2020 is definitely the worst.

the ground is much more sweeter now than in 2011. 100 billion spent, pandemic going on, to lose 2 grcs is really a bad result, u cant sugarcoat it.

I have more faith in Singaporean now, especially young voters. You can't buy them with cash handout ($600 x 2).

 

[DarkStarer]

Maybe is the sengkang people queue up 1hr to vote then dulan liao so vote WP

 

[sAVaGEmP5]

Same number but more seats lost. Its a sign... Paper cannot wrap fire

 

[DarkStarer]

Actually I thought the pandemic exposed the vulnerabilities of PAP.

They were so proud of the temp screening and SOP and kept chirping world class standards. Then suddenly top few cases in the world, lack of medical protective eq everywhere (masks, sanitiser, thermometer), foreign worker dorms spreading like wildfire.

People making a joke out of us. No face to hide.

This one is worse. Everyone knows there is flight to security by voting incumbent. And yet, only 61%. I hope they do reflect over their work over the last five years.

Well said. Without the Pandemic, result will be worse?

Ya without the Pandemic then can minus another 3-5% off PAP overall percentage.

Another 3-5% means West Coast, Bukit Panjang and Marymount may flip. That is another 7 seats.

Pap result could have been worse. Pandemic made some people vote to safety

I do agree with chiur viewpoint.

 

[standarture]

How can be worst. Don't forget we supposed to have more new citizens to dilute the votes so this is damn good already.

 

[chongquan82]

with the influx of new citizens over the last ten years, GE2020 is indeed worse than GE2011 for PAP.

GE2011
Valid votes 2,015,636
Total votes cast 2,060,373
Eligible voters (excluding walkover voters) 2,211,102
Electorate 2,350,873

GE2015
Valid votes 2,257,016
Total votes cast 2,304,331
Eligible voters (excluding walkover voters) 2,462,926
Electorate 2,462,926

GE2020
Valid votes 2,489,793
Total votes cast 2,535,565
Eligible voters (excluding walkover voters) 2,653,942
Electorate 2,653,942

150k more new citizens ???

 

[Courage]

It doesn't matter which was worse since they are both under pinky. Pinky is shiat

 

[SKenny]

In 2020,
- they rushed into a GE in the middle of crisis which historically help their result
- Stroke Heng raided our reserve several times and gave away some $100 billion
- spent many years to try to pin blame on ATHC without success. Then "someone" started a civil suit against the 3 WP MPs
- they made the GE as the platform for endorsing their incoming 4G leaders
- started pofma which were used to quell political voices.

All the above should have a positive impact to their result. In the end, they were still down about some 9% on average and lost another GRC. They also almost lost a further 1-2 GRCs.

Lidat means good result anot?

GE2011 Tanjong Pagar was walkover, that's why 60.1% right? If it was contested, it'll be a lot higher than 60.1% due to LKY presence, and likely higher than 61.24% now.

So you guys consider GE2020 to be the worst for PAP in terms of popular votes?

Should be the worse. 2020 is a mother of all crisis. But they garnered only 61%

 

[Xeservico]

Actually ah the better question is. Was 2020 the best outcome of a bad situation or the worst outcome of a good situation for them? Maybe PAP call the election early coz they scared way more people won't wanna vote them in after the pandemic.

2011 seemed like a worst outcome of a good situation for them while 2020 could be either way... Food for thought

See how the public mood is after the pandemic.

 

[tanjiakpeng]

The 39% will regret for shaking the political stability in sg

The reason why sg is able to attract FDI and flourish is because of political stability

 

[Sultana]

If assume NC 30k per yr & 300k in 10yrs, 2020 is worse ...

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

GE2011 is worse.

considering LKY still alive and people still voted the other way round~


even with the president election changes, COVID-19 screwjob, they still get better percentage~

then again. LKY ward is walkover right~? so how does the number get included~?

Walkover not counted into incumbent support base?

If 2011 lower %, how come they say until like this round is worse result since donkey years.
