Not everyone think of the bigger picture.

Exactly. The commoner will see if his neighbourhood okay or not. Then will see his job okay or not. If both okay why vote for something else which might change for the worse.

I can vote for change, even if that chances of being better are slim.

What I cannot do is to vote for the sake of opposing, when I know the opposition has 0 probability in making things better. And that is the case for parties that contested in Jurong. Not one of them returned and persisted.

Gimme WP and I will give them a try.

Aiya, think again.

Whether is TCB, TJS or KFC being the President, the consitution is still that President must act under the PM's advice.

So there is little difference of who being the President other than the Psyological one.


Now, if TJS never entered the fray, the 25% is likely to vote for Tan Kin Lian who is at least more neutral / against PAP then Tan Cheng Bock.

No doubt TCB is good, but his influence is limited to the West, just like CST in Potong Pasir and LTK in Hougang.

The whole nation knows the existence of 3, but only in areas surrounding above mentioned will support these 3 people respectively and this is y LTK concentrate his battle in the East.


And the fact is, more opposition voters vote Tan Jee Say, and about half of the PAP voters vote for Tony Tan.

Hence, it should be that had CST did not endrose TCB, the president might have been TJS instead for the near 10% swing vote.

Ur maths fail. Let's say CST endorsement is 10% of total votes, swing to TJS, he still lose to Tony tan. So he wasn't a strong contender in the first place.

And obviously CST endorse someone for their true caliber. He was the one who championed for opposition unity, if TJS was any good, he would have supported him.
