you do sound like the courts are bought over by the pap.

at least will be proven how pliant is our court system............no?
Say, in the unlikely event of a B-E, PAP will once again engineer some rules to make it in their favour.
I believe at best PAP can only argue for a BE to be held for that particular seat, and not the entire GRC.
Singapore will have to thank a cleaner and a mad lawyer if we get a BE @ Marsiling.
They cannot just re-elect the missing minority MP who will join the PAP GRC... so it has to be the entire GRC.
That is subject to interpretation. You know for them black can also say until white.

this is one grey area. When Ong chit Chung passed away, there wasn't any BE for Jurong GRC, but that was before the landmark ruling.
Possible the Court case is about whether should there be a BE for entire GRC or just that vacant seat.
The voters actually voted for the GRC team...so they will come out and say that since it is a "team matter", they will just appoint a random Malay MP to fill the vacant post.
Think about it...when you voted in Marsiling last GE, did you voted for Halimah or the entire PAP GRC team?
I would be interested in seeing a BE.
It would be a chance to see if the PAP are as popular since the last GE when they hadn't announced all the price hikes e.g. Water, electricity, ...
If we stretch this logic further, in a GRC for 5 members, if 4 left, they can suka suka appoint 4 others to fill the void. In that case, only 1 member in the 5-man GRC is elected.
The game, rules and referee is all decided and set by PAP.
They can set rules etc. but the 30% will not be moved.
It used to be nearly 40%. Now shrivelled to 30%. By the next GE, it should be down to 25%. PAP should win by a larger majority. I expect the oppies to lose all the GRCs and if they are lucky, hang on to Hougang SMC by barely a 2% majority.
