Dear PT
The dauphin with his secret squirrel in the SDP and everywhere else knows that NO one will back down, and that in a three four five cornered fight the PAP wins.
Perhaps your hypothesis is true, that the minority vote was lost to the WP , than again perhaps it's not but the easiest way to prove it one way or the other is a straight one on one fight whereby the district polling will tell the story,
Perhaps the SDP is the best bet, with its smart policies, eloquent speakers and combative stance , but then again with its zero ground work, in PE , if its theory was correct, it would have MPs in parliament would it not ?
Honestly no one in the WP, those senior, those with experience honed through GEs. ever expects a guaranteed victory, they expect to fight hard and lose well and to fight harder again, but to win , and or have a guaranteeded win that's for the PAP,
if its a three cornered fight so be it, The PAP wins, The WP loses but is encouraged to come back again if PE is still in existence in 2016 which I do not, The SDP behind by the WP by at least eight percent or more , I hope learns the lesson of concentrated work , door to door house visits and starts thinking seriously whether it wants to pander only the twenty percent or does what is politically necessary for the 50.1.

WP is not going to win this BE even if it is a one-to-one fight.
WP has lost the conditional support of the minority Malay and Indian communities whose votes were crucial in allowing it to secure Aljunied GRC.
If the internal polling which had been carried out had reflected that the WP would win in a one-to-one fight, the Dauphin would not be calling for a BE. PE will remain with the PAP.
No amount of "shiok sendiri" posturing, delusional hallucination or frothing at the mouths will change the fact that the PAP still has substantial support amongst Singaporeans or that the WP has lost support amongst the Malay and Indian minority communities and hence, PE will remain with the PAP.
So please stop the cursing and swearing. Frothing at the mouth and delusional hallucination is bad for your health.[/QUOTE]
