Hung Parliament?
What would Tharman do if elected?
Test of Independence?
Most would agree if there is a hung parliament, the pro-establishment president would prefer the continuation of the establishment party forming government.
We are currently discussing the importance of independence in the coming presidential election. Among the hopefuls, who is likely to be less independent. It seems to be Tharman.
Tharman claims he has an independent mind, thinking and belief. His past association with the PAP is a historical fact and the bonding is still there. Among the 10 supporters, you still see the faces of the establishment, like NTUC.
Ng Kok Song may look at it as an investment. His investment strategy is good opposition makes good government. Will he invest to maintain the status quo or build up a balanced portfolio of opposition and government; creating competition and bringing in higher returns for Singapore?
George Goh may appreciate the hard work of opposition effort, fighting spirit and entrepreneurship. Starting from a small business, he may give a chance to a small enterprise and create the opportunity for it to grow.
If hung parliament is an indication of independence, we will see different degrees of independence from the three hopefuls. Provided you have a chance to vote, otherwise independence is a non-issue.
