Re: WP MP Yee also criticised HHH and RN!
WP are form by PAP IBs???
No. (Though one of our respected forum members once hinted at such a link.)
But WP share a very similar conservative ideological platform with the PAP, and hence they appeal to conservative and middle ground voters, the very same people who have voted staunchly for the PAP in years past. These folks are now getting disillusioned with PAP policies, and WP is well-positioned to win over these disenchanted voters with their intensive ground work, good organizational support and a brand name built over 30 years by first JBJ and then LTK.
But LTK's WP is very different from JBJ's WP. It has moved very much to the right, become less liberal, since JBJ days. Hence KJ's attempt to re-establish his father's vision with RP. But, as we can all see, he's not quite the charismatic leader and people person his father was. He also doesn't have his dad's genuine political convictions and compassion for the underdog.
