My conclusion to him is that SDP has to preserve its strength in providing enough candidates for the next elections which will be the watershed battle for all opposition parties.
This may be the strategy of PAP to wipe out smaller and "undesirable" opposition parties in time to come, particularly SDP through the process.
If SDP and NSP wants to stay relevant in Singapore politics, they would have to find ways to make gain in the coming GE.

Dear GMS..
First thing first, I would prefer to refer your 'friend' as your 'ex-colleague' as I believe friendship goes beyond the topic of politics...hence, the ex-colleague would be more appropriate here..
Are you speaking on the capacity of SDP to claim your ex-colleague is SDP potential candidate?
This ex-colleague of yours is partyless till to date, and he could be any party's potential candidate, even so for NSP as he is still very much in touch with your NSP president. I hope you are well aware that your president is also very keen to make him a NSP candidate.
Your private conversation and exchange of views between him, yourself and some others ex-colleagues of his who are colleagues of yours is but just a private conversations between ex-comrades.
It baffles me as to why this private conversation is now being put across by you no less that whatever transpire is the stand of SDP?
My advice to you is quit 纸上谈兵, quit trying to advice other political parties what they should be doing, spend more time concentrating how to play catch up to other opposition parties and any suggestion you have, try suggesting to your own party instead of being a undesirable member of your own party. Quit being GMS (Glorifying MySelf)
I do agree with phouse3 when he ask you to quit speaking like a kingmaker.
I do wonder what credibility and credentials do you have to give comments on other political parties what they should and should not be doing. On your self-proclaimed as Opposition MP's Mentor? which reminds me, so when are you starting that 18 part MP Mentoring course that was long long overdue.

There are reasons why I do not want to reveal certain details while keeping the gist of discussion. For someone who posted private conversation between ex-colleagues and with enough hints to as to who that ex-colleague of yours is, says a lot about you. The names or identity in this case, is not the focus but rather the thoughts.the thoughts of that individual in this case and not that of SDP as what you try to lead others to believe.
I do not know what is your purpose of barging in here but little information or knowledge is very dangerous to people like you. I can't blame you for not knowing the purpose of my intervention, given your inclination to do so selectively at times.
Sorry to say that, you are not in any position to give any advice to anybody, least me. You could not even get your basics right, least about strategy and tactical perspective. same to you Mr Goh, mind your own party business and do not attempt to put words into SDP mouth when speaking to any individual whom u deem to be close to SDP or a potential SDP candidate!
With people like you, I guess Dr. Chee's idea of "collaboration" will really hard to come by. there you go again, indirectly posting out your little talk you have with CSJ about 'collaboration"..I rest my case!
