Everyone seems to think PAP will slip further in this coming GE.
Yet, nobody knows why ?
Since the GE 2011, the issues of contention ( population, immigration, housing, health-care, transport , etc ) have been tackled and much progress have been made by the PAP.
If Opps raise the same old issues as in GE 2011, they are simply running out of ideas. In other words, from 2011 to 2015, the Opps have not thought of what they want Singapore to be. Instead, all they do in this GE is to parrot the same old issues that were already debated in 2011.
My gut feeling is that the shocking results will be that PAP will return in a bigger margin of win than the last GE. Simply because half of the Opps are a motley crew of opportunists ( they are going for the $18k MP pay in the guise of speaking up for Singaporeans. Nothing is free you know. Talk is not cheap. ) and distractors ( activists turn politicians at the last minute ) and the other half do not know how to manage a town council ( if only they bother to check why FMSS earns so much money in less than 2 years while their own Town Council's finances are in deficit, but they don't want to do it because it would be embarrassing to let the Aljunied residents know that they have screwed up big time ).
