Why dont PM wong spend more time energizing his supporters like Trump rather than try convince swing voters skewing towards opposition?

[Rosanjinz]

I mean that's what Donald Trump and many people did also and all of them won their elections easily

 

[s-ghost]

because he don't know how to fight an election?

so why does he need to hold more than 90% of the seats then?

when even if he holds 70% of the seats he can form the government, appoint all the ministers, and pass all the laws without anyone opposing cos not even enough opposition?

tell me what difference does it make in the next 5 years even if PAP wins 70% of the seats as compared to 90%?

They still appoint all the ministers, they still can change the constitution, they still make all the laws and can pass all of them without opposition cos not enough people voting against them

[Dongbalek]

maybe you should ask why PS is channeling his energy like trump every 5 years only

Trump is the president of USA, whereas LW is the prime minister of SG, where he has to answer to the president and SM Lee

Moreover has you ever seen Trump say negative stuff? He is positive and alway look at way to tackle issue and explore opp for his country and country man, unlike ours, alway full of negativity and tell you to bite the bullet or no such thing as free lunch

 

[Rosanjinz]

till now he cannot give a good enough reason why the PAP die die needs to hold 90% of the seats in the parliament lei

cos there is nothing he is currently doing that he cannot do as a party even with 30% of the seats going opposition, and that including changing the constitution, appointing all ministers, and changing all laws.

All the things which he has said and they have said as a party is based on things that can "possibly" happen in theory.

He has to answer to the senior minister?

It says clearly that PM is ranked below President, but above SM, who is above DPM lei.

I remember during school time, the best grades like to spend more time talking, arguing, defending. Usually act with their mouth.

The pai kia spent time on bromancing, networking. Action-oriented.

Voting in USA is not mandatory. They need to spend a lot of time energising their base so that their base even bothers to vote. Voter turnout means everything.

In Sg voting is mandatory, so there's not much need to spend time energising people who will vote PAP or opp as default. Swing voters mean everything.
