CFR privy to CIA intel reports that even potus might not know

Might be so as you said.

But the article on its own is quite unsubstantiated with lots of postulation.

They cite case file number as bibliography cannot publish liao

 

[Smtsai]

Huh? The oppo is at their weakest ever now. They have been getting weaker and weaker over the years.

Maybe u got the wrong ideas . Its not about who is better , when the party in charge doesnt gives a dam about ordinary people anymore then its time for someone else to do the job.

Just remember u are voting for someone to SERVE YOU . Not the other way round .

MINISTERS JOB IS TO SERVE THE PEOPLE NOT SCREW THEM UP .

from EBRC announced to polling day, can be less than 2 month,like 2015
july 13.. sep 11.



question--can EBRC start working before announced ?

That was due to the LKY effect so they quickly push for polling day and ends up being effective as many Singaporeans voted for incumbent. Normally its like at least 5-7 months after EBRC is announced.

Anyway is it me or I am seeing less unhappiness amongst Singaporeans these days? Have a feeling MIW will increase vote share easily this time round

Anyway FWIW, my brother lives in the new Bidadari estate and so far not once has he seen any party walking around so he's not sure who's contesting or even interested

Does your typical NSF or regular think highly of the general? I neber hear anyone tok about them lovingly b4. Except for officers who directly depend on the general for promotion.

Tbh even if he have extramarital affairs why does it need to be blown up to this extent?
last time one of our presidents have drinking problem, LKY just ask him step down quietly

 

[CCCustom]

I say many times already …

GE2015, the white IBs played a new card, claiming the whites will lose big because of opposition wave, lose until won’t form government.

People credit the whites’ big win to The LKY Effect, but I say it was only 1 factor … the swing vote fell for this card and “tactical voting” compensated for the expected loss.

GE2020 Pritam play the same card threatening a complete wipeout of the opposition … WP ended up taking Seng Kang.

GE2025, now both sides talking about how cham they are Quite frankly, whether is whites or opposition, both also hear until sibei tulan.

Looking at global trend, it's possible the incumbent might take a hit because of inflation. Also the oppositions is quite strong the last election what

A page from PAP's playbook on how to win elections.

If a constituency is leaning more.towards the oppo there are a couple of tricks up PAP's sleeve; they can change it to a GRC making it more expensive and difficult for an opposition party to field more than 1 candidate for that constituency OR they could redraw the boundaries to weaken the votes that are pro opposition...and you may be surprised how ridiculous this redrawing of boundaries can get; maybe hougang will be part of the East Coast GRC?

Of course PAP can also play the "fielding power candidates" in constituencies or if they are afraid they might lose a minister in election, they will move him to a safe constituency (a sure win for PAP) tonportect him and sacrifice a lesser pawn in PAP's perennial game of political chess!

Honestly, the 1 new SMC and the 1 new GRC that the media say, may already be a preview of what would be the updated electoral boundaries.

1 new GRC: at Bidadari area, probably 2 seats from the current Potong Pasir SMC, and 1 seat each from 2 surrounding 5-member GRCs (Marine Parade and Aljunied).

1 new SMC: from the current Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC.

Tengah will be part of Chua Chu Kang GRC in GE 2025, since already under Chua Chu Kang Town Council, and the town still to small to even justify a MP for itself (most probably have to share with Brickland ward).

Potong Pasir will probably still be around as a SMC. PAP will keep winning as long as the weak SPP contests there. It should be a competitive seat, but not with SPP. If PSP or WP contested, they can make it a close race, but neither of those parties seem interested in Potong Pasir, possibly out of respect for the Chiams.

West Coast GRC is unlikely to remain in the current configuration. I won't be surprised if Ayer Rajah (TCB's stronghold) is carved out and merged with Jurong or another GRC.

Punggol West SMC will likely disappear too. Its proximity to WP-held Sengkang, coupled with WP getting 39% there with a untested weak candidate is a major red flag.

East Coast GRC can't be altered much because of its geographic location. They can carve out Fengshan like what they did in GE2015, but apart from that, not much can be changed.

 

[icebleue]

Eggmie can finally silence all the critics when she wins the SMC.

She won the last one - was an smc

 

[RAKSL38]

Eggmy had always been in SMC for very long & gotten quite high percent wins, highest in 2015. Doubt they will move her to GRC. GRCs always parachute those new or unknowns.

 

[JoeBlackCoffee]

My point is, opposition won't win much
People will continue to vote for PAP esp when many are thinking and voting through their pockets and wallets

It will be another 60+ to 70% votes for PAP again. I wont be surprised if it goes as high as 70%
I'll be slightly surprised if it goes over 70%

All those issues that you mentioned, most dont care. Its only the minority few who do.

You are seeing it from a narrow point of view. Alot were sympathy votes for lky. The results of pap started dropping after that GE.

If you were to check the overall trajectory over the last few GEs it is very clear that pap's votes have been sliding.

And this is an achievement for the oppositions given that:
- pap have a vice grip over stats, data, civil servants... they can withdraw boundaries cos they have the stats to put weak wards into stronger wards
- they control the media, so they will spin whatever narrative they want, be it that we are having a great economy or the oppositions are weak...
- they control immigration so they can convert new singaporeans into their voter base
- they terrorise opposition so much so that not many people dare to stand against them, which is partly why it is hard to attract good candidates

Despite all the above and much more, pap have been losing votes over the past few GEs.
