Opposition contest like abt ten seats. PPl are more likely to vote for PAP when PAP is already returned to power in nomination day with a large majority.
The downside is opposition will never gain a majority in parliament.
in 1991, opp won 4 seats in parliament using this strategy, the best results so far.
you can't use the same trick twice.
never work.
I prefer all out attack against PAP.
PAP is the type of party that if you don't hit them hard, they will chop off your head.

The time is not right.
This time round at most PAP's winning margin is reduced from 66.6%.
I expect opp to retain Hougang seat only.
At most retain 2 seats PTPS and Hougang SMC.
the 9 NCMPs are powerless one.
Anyone know the salary of NCMPs.

We have to make a try or else PAP will bury us with foreigners.
Sooner or later, the PAP regime will be overthrown just like the Mubarak regime.

Impossible the Mubarakk regime is very lousy government.
PAP is not so bad.
Out of ten points, I am gonna give PAP a 6.
6/10. 6 for economics reasons. But political freedom and rights are important still.
Why not 10 because our media is controlled by gahment and restrictions on protest and freedom of speech.
The GRC system and lack of independent Election department also minus some points.
Our political freedom,media freedom and fairness of election nt gd enough.
If opposition aims to improve on this, I will definitely vote for them.
As long as opposition can have lots of candidate, all is not lost yet.
This is really the last time, if we can't get PAP out, we are done for.

Mubarak is at least a hero, LKY is a traitor.
Mubarak won Sinai from the Israeli; LKY works for the Japs during occupation.
Can't trust a traitor or his son.
If opp aims to improve freedom of media, abolish GRCs and more political rights like freedom of speech , protest rights and human rights.
I want parliament to debate on a lot of issues too like death sentence, capital punishment, NS for women, casinos, income inequality,widening gap between rich and poor, minimum wage and welfare/finanical assistant for the poor.
PAP will still be the government after this election. Majority of Singaporeans are "comfortable" with PAP.
But we can hope to see more elected opposition members in parliament after this election. No more 99% PAP parliament.
hopefully they can be reduce significantly.

Cross opposition in the ballot box, otherwise it will not work.
Anything less tha 51% and you get screwed for the next 5 years possibly with even more irreversible damages

smoothered by imports.
Imagine the PM becomes opposition....still can take $4m a year salary or not haha. Anyway, it's best if PAP is voted out. Nothing less than a clear majority for the opposition, otherwise with a few MPs making noise in parliament, it's just not going to work. We already have no parliamentary live telecast, funny for a democracy like ours.
Think about it....why can't us citizens have access to the telecast of what goes on in parliament? Don't we have the right to watch every minute of their debates?

Mind boggling.
I was hoping the opposition keep their cards at AMK and Sembawang GRC and then surprise the ruling party on nomination day.
Walkover at AMK and Sembawang GRC?
Seriously, AMK and Sembawang GRC have good chances for high opposition votes, and I hope an all out surprise may get the ruling party off guard.

Seriously, I doubt the ruling part will be caught off guard. The reason is that they must expect all-corner fight and they have access to information.
However, I do agree not to handover the rights so easily without fighting over it.

WP put one unknown suicide team at Ang Mo Kio and somemore can got 34% of the votes. Opposition should consider contesting Ang Mo Kio this time, high chance they can get over 40% of votes.

probably with so much opposition voters from former Aljunied GRC drawn into.

And former Cheng San GRC, where WP got 45% of the votes in 1997.
