My concern is the wokenees of wp and lack of representation for the common men in recent years

Makes me feel vote for them and pap not much difference. At this point is just vote because want deny pap majority only

Will not support WP. Wokeness young people.

PS had admitted publicly that WP is unable recruit 33 new candidates. This shows that opposition is still facing tough time recruiting credible candidates compared to the MIW which can tap on both public and private sectors.

However, one trend that we can also observed from the current new lineup from PAP, the candidates are getting lesser heavy weights shows that even PAP has difficulty getting strong candidates.

Going forward, strong candidates should only join WP and not other opposition because the probability of winning under WP is much higher compared to other parties. So candidates, pls make a wise choice.

I noted that there are more candidates with very strong and good background (in fact some even more impressive than PAP ones) that are joining WP.

I still think the biggest problem with the PAP MPs of today are too detached from the ground and surrounded by many goons from the RCs who are probably volunteering for the good of themselves than the residents.

Too many yes man/women surrounding the ministers to a point where they are in their own bubble.

nicole was a potential star candidate

From the time she was in NSP, I already noticed that she was for herself. Very self centered person.

Maybe I thought she was young and immature so when she got married with kids and all would change her. But can see that she hasn’t.

 

[drkcynic]

Heard from friend this lady is 校花 in Nus biz sch.

WP is also threading on dangerous territory. While they have attracted superstar candidates who have the heart to serve, their success and popularity is also attracting people who are there to ride on the coattails of these “superstars”.

Unlike in the past where there is stigma to joining oppies, the tides have changed to the point where it is popular to campaign with the opposition esp if you are not aligned with the govt
