Coffee talk about election before nomination day!

[Cestbon]

From the all the party behave and press conference.
Opposition done a good job in press conference the way they speak. Almost all new opposition candidate are better speaker than new PAP candidate.
That my point of view.
Anyone agree or have others view?

It does not matter if you do not vote for them. What you need to do is curb the ridiculous power corruption inside PAP.
A good black eye will force an internal audit.

I dread to hear what the audit will reveal, that we have losses in the tens of billions to begin with and the 'reserves' is made up of air now

Better know it now then later.

PAP ask us vote for better candidate so far opposition new candidate is better than PAP new candidate.

One of my friends asked me over lunch, “Are you not afraid that when you wake up on 8th May morning, you found out that PAP has lost the elections and will not be forming the government?” My answer to him was, “No”, it will never happen, even if the percentage of votes are 49% to PAP and 51% to the opposition, there will not be freak results where PAP will not return to power.

Why?, let me explain in my simple minded logic. The British Parliamentary System is very simple, the party that garner the simple majority of seats will come into power and form the government, it does not say if you have the majority of votes, you will win, rather, you garner more the half the seats in the House, you then have the right to form the government.

Our parliament currently consist of 87 seats, of which latest is that 82 are being contested, rumours is that Tanjong Pager GRC (5 seats) will not be contested, so PAP will need to win another 39 seats to have a simple majority in the House to form the government. Workers Party, the biggest opposition party, from news reports will be fielding 23 candidates, and even if they win all seats contested, they do not have a majority in Parliament to form the government. The rest of the smaller parties are not able to field enough candidates to form any government.

PAP, being incumbent will definitely be winning many GRCs as well as SMCs, it is not possible that they will lose all seats they are fielding candidates in, it is unforeseeable. Even if they did, none of the opposition will win enough seats in Parliament to form the government. There is no need for any discussions about what if PAP lost all, as it will never happen, they will definitely lose the percentage of votes but am quite sure they will win at least the required 44 seats to return to power.

Do not listen to the nonsense from Straits Times about Freak Results, it will not happen.

Again, even if PAP garner 49% of the total votes cast, they can return to power.

Like I said, Singapore is overflowing with local talent. But if PAP selects them, it will make LHL look 3rd rated. Even with the 2nd - 3rd rated people, not that many are pliant, even with carrot and stick coercion. There is only so slow some will stoop for policies that disadvantage Singaporeans. They know one day, their children may marry one of this disadvantaged to have a child.

100% correct seat count not popularity.
Even if the PAP popularity is 45% but can get 50 seat . PAP still in power.
Eg. On average PAP win most of the seat in very less margin and lost in seat in big margin such popularity will happen.
