SDP is like McCain, doesn't want to talk about the economy only bent on character assaination

Problem with all Spore opposition is that they all have their own agenda and can't cooperate for nuts.

Yes. Must be the dictator there jealous.:(
The person who started this thread is bias.
One would have thought that the WP and NSP websites carried news on TKL whilst the SDP does not.
But not one of the three websites carried such news.
So why single out SDP?
Postnote: On second thoughts, scratch that. He could be referring to YourSDP which set itself as a news commentator. If so, then he has a valid point.
Zack123, your point is something i share. Obviously the actual opposition members are not here in their real names, except for a couple. So those doing the agitation and hatred-mongering are probably a combination of anonymous opposition members or their staunch supporters or the ruling party supporters adding fuel.
The main point is the inability of the opposition parties' leaders to affirm each other publicly.
If their supporters cannot see the value in what others are doing, if they are unable to feel the pain of their fellow opposition sued and bankrupted, then they, the leaders, should start by making public affirmations of each other - in those areas where they can. What are leaders for?

Maybe because it is the party where current leader had usurped the leadership of his predecesor ... very despicable act indeed!:(
Which means, if this premise is true, that the opposition parties will steer clear of TKL and let him sink or swim by himself.
(This is strange given the call to vote opposition in order to smite the PAP but the opposition does not seem to have the desire to help others other than themselves)
If that is the case, then TKL's best bet is as an independent in a single-ward seat.
The backlash from the PAP will be that much less severe as the psychological barrier of a GRC is not at stake.

I have no desire to diminish the sense of betrayal and injustice brought about by such an act.
If it is due to this past act that results in so much present hatred, then hopefully the two can find some solution on their own. It is probably not of the forgive and forget type. But at least, it may be the type that will gloat over your misfortune - but in private only.
considering TKL's background, if u r one of the leaders of any of the opposition parties, would u want to work with him?
I do not know the answer to that. Maybe yes, maybe no. Yes, if you see opportunities as what GMS did. No, if you are of a different temperament.
But i do know that there will be considerations:
(1) TKL is more famous than me - will he supercede and undermine my authority?
(2) Will TKL overwhelm me and take over my party in the future?
(3) Is TKL a PAP spy?
(4) Will my followers prefer TKL to me as a more vibrant and far-sighted leader?

You have missed out one question:
Is Tan Kian Lian an opportunist? Many PAP members, especial of senior or elder level, would not try to go against their own party, not for injustic or whatever, but the fact that PAP does "help" them in their life and career. So if Tan Kian Lian bitting the hand that had fed him for the past 30 years? and if he is doing so, can he be trusted at all?
But your context is about backlash - that if the PAP attack TKL, will the opposition leader want his party to be caught in the backlash?
Which brings me to my points doesn't it?

"If that is the case, then TKL's best bet is as an independent in a single-ward seat."
and
"(This is strange given the call to vote opposition in order to smite the PAP but the opposition does not seem to have the desire to help others other than themselves)" - that is, if your premise is true.

There is also another perspective to this point you made.
Some here believe that the only way there can be a viable opposition is for some of the PAP members to break loose.
If there is true, then TKL's presence is an opportunity for the Opposition to encourage.
There can be other arguments levied against such PAP-offshoots later on on the assumption that it happened after LKY. Such arguments can be in the form of "These PAP-offshoots just want to be PM and control us. So why should we help them?"
Thus there will always be logic against wanting to support such PAP-offshoots.
In the final analysis, success or failure lies in the leader - are they able to see opportunities and have the courage to take them? Or do they prefer to err on the side of caution?
Even if they do, those voters who want capable opposition should stand up and say, "It is time for good opposition to come forth" and take the risk of being wrong.

All opposition candidates who have some fighting chance of winning are automatic lightning rods. If opposition parties are fearful of lightning and avoid taking in and fielding high profile candidates who stand a chance to win, then might as well close shop, pay and pray.
