A political game not for unprepared, under qualified, few volunteers, less committed parties and candidates.

 A political game not for unprepared, under qualified, few volunteers, less committed parties and candidates.

This is an unfair game we all know.  This is a game where you need to put in more effort, energy, commitment than the PAP.   Even that there is no guarantee you will win.

This is not for fun.  You must be as serious, as committed as Chee Soon Juan.   You must be part of the WP dream teams then you are able to win votes.  Unfortunately, with full commitment, they still lost. 

Of course, you need a lot of volunteers who are willing to walk together with you, rain or shine.  Ground works are important and cover a big area, not only a single constituency.   The goal posts always change, SMC can easily disappear.

It looks like a strong mandate.  Just like casinos, there are many losers.  They join in for fun without thinking about winning.  So, like casinos, they make a contribution to the state by losing deposits. 

If we really don’t have enough good qualified, committed opposition candidates, for Singapore’s good, a by-election strategy can be reconsidered.  Otherwise, we are showing the world a skewed mandate.  We are showing the world there are many free riders in the government.

 

We have a record number of losing deposits.  Voters are smart enough to distinguish them. However, they do occupy spaces in the mainstream and social media.  The PAP welcomes them.  The PAP likes the noise.
