Here is the result of percentage votes PAP has gotten in Election 2011:
As the above map has shown, it seems the percentage of votes PAP has on the East side is largely below 59%, therefore PAP will have a big problem of redrawing GRCs in the East for the next election to their advantage.
As above, the red zones are the areas which has less than 59% votes for PAP, which may mean that the larger concentration of people unhappy with the PAP are concentrated on the East. SMCs like Potong Pasir and Joo Chiat will have difficulty being redrawn to any nearby GRCs because obviously the areas are all below 59%
Above map shows the opposition party movement in the areas they contested in.
Light Blue: Workers' Party
Red : SDP
Green : NSP
Yellow: RP
Violet : SPP
The East side is that of mainly Workers' Party's, it is likely that Workers' Party has a longer history than the other opposition parties and having a higher popularity, therefore causing a sway of votes to the opposition in the East. While the SDP having some bad incidents in the recent 5-10 years may have caused them to drop in their popularity.
Conclusion: It seems the East side has a much better chance of being won over by the opposition since -
1. PAP votes are below 59% and
2. PAP will have difficulty to redraw GRC in the East because of low votes in the East almost everywhere
Therefore, it may well mean that the Workers' Party may emerge as the second largest political party within the next 10 years.
