Don't be mistaken, this is not the election of the angry.

The loud and visible are disappointed with failed policies, Covid mess, belittling of locals by Josephine, Chan, Khaw, LeeBW, Hyflux collapse, loss of jobs to foreigners, cost of living, collapse of HDB resale prices, etc. Many of us wrote to government for help, including myself. All i get is a template reply. Citing similar incidents on news, if I am some VIP, the respond will be different.

Question here is, how does the quiet ones feel? Many on the ground shared with me that they benefited from the COVID handouts, $9000 + vehicle/shop rental rebates, etc. The loud group does not represent the majority. There are indications that the incumbent must be very confident to call for election now (best timing). Some are like an happy ape, if you open the cage, they still prefer to stay inside the comfort zone.

Is this elections a calculated move? Perhaps the incumbent will gather less popular votes, but mathematically they enjoy a pretty good chance to defend their current seats and win Hougang and Aljunied GRC?

Grassroots survey indicate that oppie bock and team will lose big time. People of Ayer Rajah ward ultimately voted for PAP, but Bock mistakes it that the voters buy into his cult personality. Aljunied GRC is still too close to tell. As for Hougang SMC, it will fall to PAP or WP retains it by a razor thin margin.

Tell me about it, if I were to put a finger on it, PAP can easily garner 72.5% of the valid votes nation wide.

My kakis and I in the kampung are hoping that WP can hang on to both HG & AJ.

So how? Victor enjoys drinking packet drinks or not? :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:
 
I am quietly confident that the quiet pap voters are mainly women. :wink:

It is bad, AJ and Hougang's support for WP will drop, while WP will do better elsewhere, eg East Coast and Marine Parade.
Will the drop cause them to lose the seats and the improvement can't cross 50%?

you may be closer to the outcum than my sextimate of 69%.
 
Oppies are dreamers. I am sure Singaporeans know their pattern after all these years and will vote PAP who has been serving them well.

EC-GRC not ripe, forget about MP-GRC.
 
How do you feel about people calling you an idiot or xia suay behind your back?

With millions in the bank, I don’t think they care at all.
