Workers' Party voicing out people's needs in parliament? Sure boh?

[winnipegjets]

Even Worker's party says that we need 5million+ in Singapore. Sure it beats having 6.9 million but is that acceptable? You all think loh.

Unless Worker's party can come up with a comprehensive and workable plan to REDUCE the population and deport foreigners, they can never be considered to be a viable party.

Politics is choosing the lesser of many evils. No party is going to be of your complete delight.

 

[winnipegjets]

The WP have never voiced out anything.

When are you going to wake up? PAP is knocking at your door.

Worker's party has already accepted the status quo. The PAP's status quo.

 

[tanwahp]

Worker's party has already accepted the status quo. The PAP's status quo.

The WP would have simply echoed PAP's 6.9 million instead of saying 5.9 million if that was true.

But assuming you are right, what would WP's intention to please the PAP be? All we have heard from this angle are conspiracy theories.

 

[laksaboy]

Some of you are real idiots.

Singapore has a first-past-the-post electoral system. Mathematically, political parties with a more extremist bent will inevitably fall by the wayside.

WP's main role now is to convince those less hardcore supporters of the PAP to switch over. That's all that matters.

And enough of the 'what has WP done lately' bullshit from you PAP shills (you know who you are). When you have a few WP people becoming full ministers and a credible non-partisan labour movement (hint: the NTUC is not one), then, and only then, are you allowed to express your opinion on their performance.

 

[Clone]

The two statements are contradictory.

It is exactly because WP does not want to be another PAP that they declare that they are not ready to form the government. (They have never said they will never ever want to form government or want PAP to be in power forever.)

Frankly they know not all its 9 MPs are ministerial calibre, some are and some are MP material only.

Rather than give you the PAP type of sub-standard minister, they want to wait until they have really attracted enough correct people.

If substandard ones can also be ministers, why still need to wait? Bureaucrats run the show, not politicians.

Not entirely. If only bureaucrats matter, we wouldn't be arguing over whether PAP is good or should be voted out.

Our labour MPs are doing all sorts of things to push for better employment and wages for our sinkies. What did Workers' party do? Whining and complaining doesnt help hor. Pls come up with a solution instead of kpkbing can?

No wonder the wages of most people are still stagnant, income gap is widening, and more foreigners are brought in. Our labour MPs must be hard at work.

You realise that after all the flowery words and fancy acronyms, you realise that Singapore's unions just do what they do best, talk some cock about championing the worker's cause, while watching on approvingly as the government continues to marginalise Singaporean workers because without a doubt, they know which side butters their bread.

It doesn't say "otherwise", it says it managed to reverse a position to 4 years ago after rising for more than 4 years.

Maybe not most, but 20%.

Apparently this chart shows that foreigners went from 38.2% in 2012 to 38.6% in 2013. Maybe these businesses don't know how to do business?

Is there even a need to argue?Governing a country is not exactly rocket science. Most of the time, muddling through suffices.

Whether you muddle through is inconsequential.

However, when you let one group of people, one faction or any one family have absolute power for too long, bad things tend to happen. Very bad things.

Let's hear a piece of the classic Low Thia Kiang who asked the Health Minister in parliament:

Would queuing for a hospital bed be one of the activity of active ageing for seniors?

Are we moving from Third world to First and then back to Third world all in one generation? (ref to hospital beds in tents, Little India riot, Woodlands cockups...)

Classic LTK! He always gets my vote!

You go inside and talk lor !

That's a good sign, much better than PAPPIES talking cock. However, the PAPPIES clowns are quite entertaining. I am going to miss PAPPIES comedies when they are out of power.

PAP a comedy? WP will be a horror movie.
