Should vote for SDA..they might not be strongest or sophisticated n most with 'England not as Powerful' but as long as they can raises issue concerning us that has been neglected by the ruling party, to help revise or shift their policies, they are still worthy to vote.
Better not keep waiting for the perfect party like WP else cow come home n too late le.
They might not be scholars, but at long as they have clean records and serve with their hearts, they are ten times better than those elites up there killing u softly, lol.
Just freaking vote n send them in first, this is most impt before u fall in Pappy trap. Speaking skills can always be trained n fine-tuned. Else its too late.
The dilemna faced by PRP residents is that it is not a clear cut which party to vote for. Pre-2011 is obvious, those who are not happy with the policies vote for opp, else keep to PAP. This election, we have to admit that the ruling party has tried to make some improvements, whether these improvements are enough, it is up to individual. This is point one.
Second, parties's relationship with residents. This ultimately boils down to how well the residents know each party. PRP has advantage here. I have stay in Punggol for 3 years now. Before election I have already seen my MP by looking at the poster at the lift lobby. The first time I saw him FACE-TO-FACE was Monday on my way to work at the MRT station. Though this is not a positive point at all, SDA is not much different either. What I am saying is both parties probably need to work harder to get themselves known to PRP residents.
Last point, Gerrymandering... We have seen how gerrymandering has allowed some unwanted MPs into the Parliaments. There are many complaints that some MPs are just "piggyback" by the more substantial MP/Ministers. Without weighing both side and just vote any party in, does that mean PRP residents are voting in "piggyback" MPs into the Parliament? Sound contradicting to me though.
PRP is caught in this dilemna and I believe some other GRCs as well.
