It took 14 years for the first opposition to enter parliament.
It took another 3 years for the second one to do so
Another 7 years for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th one.
But 18 years have pass, no new opposition has win in GE
Next GE, will it be CST and LTK again?
and next next next GE, will it remain the same ?
Look at some interesting statistic below:
Year 1976
PAP % 74.1%
Best opp candidate JBJ get 40.1% - lost by 19.8%
Opposition win 0 seats
Year 1980
PAP % 77.7%
Best opp JBJ get 47.0% - lost by 6%
Opposition win 0 seats
Year 1984
PAP % 64.8%
Best opp MPD nair get 48.8% -lost by 2.4%
opp win 2 seats
Year 1988
PAP % 63.2
Best opp team eunous GRC get 49.1% lost by 1.8%
opp win 1 seats
Year 1991
PAP 61%
Bset opp lost by 3.6 %
4 seats
1997 PAP 65%
Best opp Cheng San get 45.2% -lost by 9.6 %
opp 1 seats
2001 PAP 75.3%
Best opp Stev chia get 34.7% -lost by 30.6%
opp win 2 seats
2006 66.6%
best opp adjunied get 56.1 % - lost by 12.2 %
opp 2 seats
From 1980 to 1991 the best opposition has never lost by more than 6%
and in 1991 the opp win 4 seats
the future of opposition look so bright then
and there are talk of opp winning 10-20 seats in future election
But after that come chee, ling and chiam quarrel in SDP
People confidence in opposition was sink to it lowest point since 1970s
Even the team lead by JBJ and TLH lost by almost 10% in cheng san grc
But results in the 2006 election has show that people confidence 2006 in opp is starting to come back
it increaes it vote by 8.7 % from 2001
recent year also show there is more people joining the opposition, the setting and of reform party lead by kenneth jeyaretnam.
Pic from SDP web site recently also show it have more than 40 active members
Will this signal a new beginning for opposition?
Let put our finger cross
I think opposition need to win at least a 3rd`seats this time and lower PAP vote to at most 63%
if not i think the future for opp will be very bleak
It took another 3 years for the second one to do so
Another 7 years for the 3rd, 4th, and 5th one.
