Calvin Cheng:
The reason why US elections come down to swing states is that over the years, people move to states where other politically like-minded people live.
Most states have become solidly Democrat or solidly Republican.
So if you are a hardcore Republican you probably won’t live in California, and if you are a hardcore Democrat you probably won’t live Utah.
Will Singapore become like that one day? If you are a PAP supporter you won’t live in Aljunied-Hougang, and if you are an opposition supporter won’t dream of moving to Jurong?
Maybe.
The other day I accidentally drove into Aljunied-Hougang and froze. Couldn’t move when I realised. Car couldn’t move, legs couldn’t move. When I finally managed to shake myself out of my stupor, I was drenched in sweat. Immediately went home, puked three times and was in bed for 3 days.
Worst experience of my life.
