[GE2025] Extensive changes to electoral boundaries due to population shifts; only 5 GRCs, 4 SMCs left intact

[jtec14]

Void means you dun support incumbent but at the same time asking the cmi oppo to f off.

A void is one for incumbent. I won't void in contested areas, where it is known the incumbent won't lose one, to register my non-support haha. And if a freak result occur, you know the incumbent have done something seriously wrong.

 

[krikering]

And it would have continued to remain SDP territory but Ling How Doong bet on CSJ instead of CST, who was the only reason why he and Cheo Chai Chen even got a seat in the 1st place … a move he regretted during his later days.

CSJ and CST both equally to blame for their feud 20 + years ago ba. There is a reason why CST never had a true successor, he fell out with CSJ, Desmond Lim and Benjamin Pwee successively.

At least SDP now still quite ok le, CSJ learnt from his earlier experience and now shares power with Paul Tambyah.

SPP, on the other hand under Lina Chiam is no different from PAR/PPP/NSP/RDU, etc. liao. Totally irrelevant now.

LTK handed the reigns over to PS in an orderly manner and continued the lineage. WP is well run now, as compared to SPP.

WP , PSP and SDP can use minimax strategy

Singapore’s Opposition Claim ‘Gerrymandering’ Ahead of Election - Bloomberg

Yes, we think the same frequency. They want to take back Aljunied.

Small parts of Aljunied being sliced off means increased probability of losing for WP (assuming the majority of the small parts are WP supporters). Yup, so it is very simple mathematics.

Focus on Sengkang and East Coast. Place more heavy weights there like what WP did in 2011: LTH's very bold move from Hougang to helm the Aljunied team in 2011. But I reckon WP might lose Aljunied (reasons: RK case + redrawn boundary + quite a number of people lost their jobs since 2022-now, youngsters very difficult to find jobs, so more people will anyhow vote or sit on the fence). Sigh, trouble times, where both oppo and incumbent have no advantage over one another on the topic of high cost of living.

sums it up but we need an alternative voice, if not we lose it

 

[SiaoLiaoGG]

so freaking blatant the gerry mandering
Treating us like retarded children

 

[krikering]

Tbh, GE coming in around 2 months time. Hopefully PSP/SDP/WP can band together to decide on a mutual win-win situation for all of them.

SG so small, not sure why we need 90+ MPs for. Don't think the 3 opposition parties above have the resources to compete for all the seats, in the end got some is still leave to the small opposition parties to contest one.

Hopefully, all can work together and no more kachiao each other by getting involved in multi-corner fights.

NSP/PAR don't go badmouth other opposition parties please.

Think the nature of the system that is FPTP doesn't allow much for small parties and independent candidates to get representation one. This is perhaps further exacerbated by incumbent effort to paint the others in bad light and (maybe) the GRC system.

Thus, the current predicament. Even WP have to work at it many many years to gain that number in representation. Unless those smaller parties can somehow unite and stay united to offer a bigger representation. If not, tend have not that high chances one.

Think won't be surprised end up further down road it will be a two parties system which the FPTP tend leads to. With one single party taking it all everytime. And many of the people still lack of decent representation due to the nature of the system.

So who gets in can solve the inflation or not?

It's not for the President to solve inflation problem.. unfortunately.

Somehow I have a feeling that had Tharman been our PM, there'll be less resentment against PAP than we do now.

At least Tharman won't say something like "Immigration will bring more competition and put pressure on Singaporeans to work harder and meet higher standards.." That's LHL said as he gave out new citizenship to immigrants.

Immigration will bring more competition and put pressure on Singaporeans to work harder and meet higher standards, but this will create a more vibrant economy and generate better opportunities and brighter prospects for future generations, he added.

Personally feel that Proportional representation is the way to go moving forward, or not a 2-parties system where they take turns rotating being power is also worth considering.
By no means are they perfect but the current one-party dominant system needs to go left I feel.

Our current policies are practically due to ruling incumbents have the power to pass through any bills they want via their seats representation.

The current expensive healthcare system, COE, trade deals, transportation issues due to 10 million population, and also the large number of MPs + 5 Mayors, etc. being funded by taxpayer money is practically due to the current political system we have now.

Not just FRTP, putting MP in charge of estate management (TC management) is another which would discourage many voters from voting for (hitherto unelected) opposition parties .

Fortunately WP and (TCB-led) PSP possess the knowhow, and voters are more ready to vote for them. That, I think, is the reason why they enjoy far higher vote shares than other opposition parties.

No party coming to Sembawang GRC? A cat come I also vote for the cat

 

[askxyz]

BTW I voted for Tharman. Simply because I think he'll make a better President than the other 2 (though NKS is not bad too).

Nothing to do with him being ex-PAP or not.

i think the plan was ppl know tharman would win but don't want him to win too much to send a signal . but sinkies werenot united so this plan failed .

 

[Sauzan]

Generally Singaporeans vote rationally. If there is good opposition candidates, I think they stand a good chance.

Think PR also have its con. But certain perspectives see, its a more democratic system among the democratic system. As almost all people will have representation via the parties they support. Thus power is spread out among the different representations.

Which in comparison FPTP seems like a democratic answer to the old dynastic system. Where one party takes it all and lord over the people, even if much of the people didn't support. And many people have not much say in the decisions that affect their life.

Would like to see more of a system that maybe take the best of both perhaps.
