Is WP arrogant?

[siloti]

National University of Singapore political scientist Bilveer Singh told TODAY he was not surprised with WP’s no show. “(WP chief) Low Thia Kiang already made it clear that his party will stand in these 28 places, he is not going to give up. If he reneges on his principles, he will get discredited. He cannot afford (that)…You can say there is an ‘arrogance of power’ now because now they are the number one opposition party… But on the other hand, there are valid reasons for why they are putting their position forward (in those places), either where they have contested and lost relatively well, or where they are incumbents.”

Bilveer Singh is a government suckup?

Seriously, are we playing RISK? I will be more worried if they accept other parties withdrawn. Then next time, if WP dun return the favour. It will be worse.

you are right, all the horse-trading of territories only protect the weak parties to carry on playing this election game.

If you are weak, you deserve to be eliminated in the political process.
Horse-trading of territories only protect the weak parties to carry on being weak and indirectly help pap to carry on stay in power in the long run. and stronger party like WP got restricted by this horse-trading nonsense .

Hope you guys understand this

That's the whole point. WP and SDP should ignore all the other kuchin kurup opposition. Just contest wherever they want. It takes maybe 1 - 2 or at worse 3 elections of losing deposit and and U eliminate the opportunist.

The dominant opposition will consolidate power and grow from there. I advocated this last GE, shortsighted frog in well thinks its a tactic to make multi cornered fight for PAP's benefit. Obviously LTK and Sylvia Lim knows this well and have been ignoring the smaller ones since GE2011. They know the opposition has no unity and they know the opposition cannot work together, so they don't bother.

Only delusional Anti-PAP supporters still think the opposition will form a coalition to bring down PAP. Not going to happen. It will only happen when all the useless ones are eliminated and only 2 maybe at most 3 are left. WP will work with the other opposition to form a coalition to bring down PAP. If there remains many smaller opposition and 1 big PAP and WP, they are more likely going to work with PAP than the smaller ones. This is just plain common sense

It's an election and we are living in a democratic society. Everyone has the right to stand for an election. Be it wp,nsp, pap, rp or what ever. Ultimately, the people has the choice to vote.

So what's the big hoohaa over this?

there is no hoohaa, just letting people know the negative result of horse-trading territories.
For Opposition to grow stronger, they cannot shy away from 3 corner fight. Only this way the weak ones will be forced to leave politics and the strong ones left will grow even stronger.
