Opp are hopeless.. high chance 5 corners fight in Jln Kayu


反對黨瞄準新單選區惹蘭加由 .
或出現獨立以來首個五角戰

可能參選惹蘭加由區議席的反對黨是紅點同心黨、人民聯盟、人民力量黨,以及尚未明確表態的工人黨。

The opposition parties that may contest in the Jalan Kayu constituency are Red Dot United Party, People's Alliance, People's Power Party, and the Workers' Party which has not yet made a clear statement.

They should not redraw the boundaries.
It is unfair.
Think from practical point of view, it never should be. Especially in frequent extensive sense. Waste resources. Unless got certain agenda.

Think a simple change of the number of representatives should be enough if want to maintain certain representatives to population ratio. The redrawing of boundaries seems like 画蛇添足, 多此一举, 此地无银三百两. Couldn't be more obvious. :s22:

I hv this thinking, eg say opp has 90% of voters in on district. The redrawn, that district slice into 3 parts...the cohesion n supporters will be separated with strong ruling supporters.

The newly created Jalan Kayu SMC has had the most interest, with three parties – People's Alliance for Reform (PAR), People's Power Party (PPP) and Red Dot United (RDU) – saying they will contest there.

PAP - MP Ng Ling Ling

No news from Workers’ Party (WP), Progress Singapore Party and Singapore Democratic Party.

Think people just need to ask themselves lor. If average support between two camps is about 60-40. But the average result is often about 90-10. Is that normal or what. Many, if not most nowadays got study one. Basic math and probability. They be their own judge.

Actually, all the political parties that participated in the GE will know that as a fact.

Upon conclusion of the GE, the political parties will know the voting result of each polling district like which district voted for who.

When they say your vote is secret, it only means the individual's vote is secret.

With this info, the political parties can strategise based on which polling districts are safe spots for them, which polling districts are shaky, and which polling districts are no hope.
yup this is true
