Opposition winning a GRC?

[GoldenDragon]

I am in Aljunied GRC and I hope this time we get it right and vote in WP.

Me too. Yes, vote WP. SL needs encouragement. After her sacrifices and yet if rejection this time, no one can be sure she will continue to play an active role. Let's give her one chance and I am sure she won't disappoint.

 

[GoldenDragon]

I agree, Goh Chok Tong may be thrown out. That is another greatest victory in Singapore election history.

I rather LHL be thrown out.

 

[GoldenDragon]

TinTin too young and fooling around, TongTong too old and past expiry date. A good balanced team there may undo them, that's a possibility.

Yes, TinTin and TongTong just like doorbell. Pai sample type. Ting tong ting tong, cho bo lan.

Thanks for all the comments.
I think Aljunied GRC is the best bet for the WP. They seem to have a potentially strong team under Sylvia Lim and George Yeo is going to have a tough time defending this GRC.

On a separate note, the major difference between this election and previous ones is that votes will be heavily influenced by what is discussed in cyberspace/online social media portals.
A lot of the first time votes will be netizens who use internet forums such as Sammyboy, Temasek Review, Online Citizen etc to make their judgement.
Politicians take note - never underestimate the power of the internet. One only needs to read about the hoo-ha over a certain Tin Pei-Ling to underline this point.

evry1 in sg got internet, but a lot of ppl dun go 2 internet 2 read news n views ... dey oni read dat useless 154th 4 info ...

I have a friend, early 30s, university graduate, don't surf internet at all, read his 154th religiously.

the internet world only represent a portion of the electorate.

U got tell him to cum here or not?
If not, it's your fault. :(
I bet you those uncles and aunties eating kaya toast and drinking kopi also never come to internet and only read ST and Zaobao.

 

[leoman]

yes lah. agreed.
unfortunately, smc joo chiat's going 2 have a 3-corner fight. sayang.

hope opp party / independent can come 2 a compromise

if they co-operate, chances r "expect d unexpected" will b kick out.

After the new boundary lines hv been drawn.. What wld be possible if oppositions fielded strong candidates vs non-ministerial opponents. Therefore SMC is more possible than GRC. Good luck !

Let's do some simple math. There are 16 k forum members. Take away the clones , maybe left about 8 k. 8 k ten times the lurkers add up to about 80 k. 80 k divide by 87 constituencies, we have less than 1 k per constituency.

No chance!

Yes I am already over-estimating the 1 k figure liao!

Win a GRC based on the 'noise' from the net?

he don't even surf internet, no way I can get him to visit political forums.

asked him once who he voted for last GE, he never revealed his choice but started kpkb both pap and oppositions. think he voided his vote.

WP will win one GRC, me thinks. It is quiet but has been solid so far. No major cock-ups. Even the PAP have to give credit that WP is their biggest threat.
As for NSP in Tampines GRC, it is a 50-50 situation. GMS has been working on the grounds (though sometimes he used to spend too much time here). However, his lack of experience and naivety is a big minus.

 

[konstandy]

I am in Aljunied GRC and I hope this time we get it right and vote in WP.

the only way opp going to win is everybody in aljunied doing their part: those supporting WP MUST convince everybody they know staying in this GRC to vote Opp or else it would be a repeat of last GE ...

for example my elderly mother WILL never vote opp even if PAP murders her (don't know y: some ppl are born retarded) ... :p

 

[leoman]

its not WILL WIN. ..... chances of win.
unless , last min ..... they dont screwup 'emself.
unless, d papians dont comeout with antoher 'dirty trick'.

hope 1 or 'em win ....

Those folks in Tampines better dun complain if they get screwed after erections, nobody will pity them....

You underestimated the naivety of Singaporean voters.

<SUP>=> So what if 50% of Sporns Vote against the FAPee TRAITORS? The 10% increase in New Shityzens will quickly restore these CCBs' mandate back to 60%! No wonder they are totally unafraid of Sporns' 'noise'! Unless 60++% Sporns are brave enough to do the right thing! Tall order indeed!</SUP>

Look at the bright side, their HDB will not be worthless.
It will be worth millions.
