WP vs PAP wards

influx neutralised by pass of bommer gen

Not as much boomer gen in Punggol.

Yes, WP needs to work on the areas around those strong WP holds (Hougang, Aljunied, Sengkang and now Tampines, Punggol, East Coast)

if got influence in these places. next time no need scare move here and cut there?

The young voters are showing that they are also sticking to the incumbents
Influx factor is strong

 

[dqwong]

I urge more capable and young Singaporeans to join WP if they can. PSP already fallen and SDP stalemated.

Only thing left is for WP to attract enough committed and talented candidates

have to agreed on this
but some of the younger gen might switch to Opposition as they get older, loss their jobs to foreigners or cannot cope with high COL

One of my Buddies was a die-hard PAP supporter in his 20s -30s
He was in banking sector, good salary, got a nice BTO, always praised PAP

Loss his job after whole function transferred to India
Now in his 50s, he is super anti foreigner from a certain country and anti PAP.

Husband and wife team of Tony and Hazel can consider moving from PSP to WP?

don't think WP will welcome them

 

[zensushi]

Now we understand PAP's population policy...
No wonder they din put in too much effort to get sinkies to get married, to have kids... (Minister whose single and no kids taking charge)
Just import more new citizens.

If you take this argument into its extreme conclusion, one day it will be a vote between the "true" citizens and the new citizens?

 

[zwHrebmeM]

Can be like Nichole (not the scandal part), take 5 years to walk the ground, then if found suitable, then let them stand as candidate

Before that, we'd see new citizens infiltrating into PAP and Singapore will then become an immigrant country

The will be a post-mortem among the election committees of the various parties.

Best case scenario: the alternative parties will be able to garner the best brains within their parties and from the external non-partisan sympathizers to form think-tanks capable of charting the way forward. Then, they need to recruit a number of loyalists to form consistent teams for regular walkabouts which will be transformed into the slick election machinery when the next polls come about.

Nicole is rare
WP has a history of not accepting people from other political parties

 

[hemo4hemo]

i think with wp's current showing, their branding would have been boosted and they would be able to garner more star catches in the next 5 yrs.
hope to see them field enough candidates for 1/3 of the seats at least.

Is not about 1/3 candidates. Is about crossing the line. WP contested area average baseline is 40%. You do the maths

Yes, necessary but hard to achieve.
With this GE result, many may not want to risk getting rejected by the electorate.
And even if they step forward, there are too many "indian chiefs" (no derogative connotation intended) with high ego amongst the alternative parties.
Only WP (with its branding) may be able to attract those that can have impact

Hazel and Tony are also rare. They were PSC scholars and Admin Officers (those that help to set policies in the Ministries)
