If after redraw vote share still drop, something is wrong. If lose a grc or two even worse.

By right redrawing should improve from previous ge. Let's see how.

They're banking on new citizens tis election. Keep giving out new citizenships on d double.

Looks like the ground is not so sweet for Lawrence Wong, Pritam better standby to be PM in a freak situation

LW i support, Pritam may lose his Loo position

NSP, PV, SDA, PPP, RP, RDU will help PAP secure the govt majority.

What we are dealing with is
- WP contested seats
- PSP contested seats
- Bukit Panjang SMC

The point about redrawing/reshaping GRCs is to maximize number of parliamentary seats despite falling popular vote share. This isn't simply gerrymandering as one would understand it applied elsewhere.

Using an extreme example - if 100% voted for the opposition, it makes no difference how you gerrymander (whether you have 97 SMCs or a mega 97-seat GRC) because the outcome will be the same.

The fallacy of the crooks running this regime lies in the assumption voting trends are repeatable - redrawing boundaries and expansion of GRCs do not change the popular vote share. Isn't it obvious when Bishan, Marine Parade and numerous other GRCs polled poorly in 2011? It's worth noting many of these GRCs had not had a contest then for a generation.

For this reason, an opposition wipeout is near impossible when you have them winning ~40% of the popular vote; statistically, it's more likely the opposition takes over and form the government than a wipeout happening.

LMW should go to Tanjong Pagar to finish once and for all the file throwing incident..
Let the voters decide if the incident is appropriate in a parliament sitting..

Not nearly enough to make a dent, srsly. Bernard went home with 33.something % votes … swing votes if no Cheo Chai Chen also give him mid to upper mid 30s in % at best.

She’s good not only with the old but the young as well … her ward considered old people area, lack of childcare services … build BTOs put 1 childcare, the young families moving in need to fight with families from the older estates for slots, then finally they increase the number of childcare and more people able to send their kids to childcare nearby … she takes the credit … this already buy over all the young families.

Her volunteers are mostly young, unlike places like Bishan Toa Payoh where the volunteers are senior citizens themselves … Bishan Toa Payoh you go MPS, the unker volunteers write your letter is use 1 finger tap 1 key at a time her MPS uses tertiary students and young adults to write letter, law undergrad advise legal issues … and best part you know who is issuing NTUC vouchers to old folks who go to MPS just for the vouchers? A primary school kid … child of 1 of the letter writers.

So no, don’t assume that only old people support her.

Maybe the votes from other parts of the new Marine Parade GRC can cause her to lose? Things are different in a GRC when compared to a SMC

Yah will be good if their vote share get to 55% and they lose another 2 GRCs.

PS must come out with stronger plans to attract more good candidates to make a realistic push for 1/3 seats then 1/2 seats in the next 2 succeeding GEs while beginning a sort of shadow cabinet arrangement with key members starting to learn how to run the various ministries.

By then he would be late 50s - early 60s if still cannot get it done then that's it liao.

Just my impression.
PS dun give me the vibes that he want to push his party to take over the incumbent.
He is like happy to maintain the status quo and becoming the one to poke instead of taking the lead.
There are certain issues that he did not cover or go hard during the House meeting.
End up LMW is the one who is getting dirty.

Looking at the state of place and the monitors that we have, we will be struggling for the next 30 years.
Maybe sg inc should be bankrupt by then.
I guess it is my destiny to witness it in my living years.
