so it comes back to what Vivian said, PAP-Lite.
WP is like PAP-Lite. Than PSP is PAP-SE ?
With no disrespect, a political party without a parliamentary seat is akin to a club of like- minded people.
A simple reference is that the purpose of starting a business is profit driven, and you need profits to sustain the business. To represent the voices of the people, you need a parliamentary seat to speak on behalf in parliament.
I'll vote for any opposition that competes in my ward without giving a care about their manifesto or beliefs. But if I were to set a goal as a political party, that would be my target. Only with a parliamentary seat then they are a viable political party, and it will be easier to pull in better candidates and donations.
How many 5 years can their members wait to win a seat?
