I'm more inclined to vote for the opposition.

Different people look at election in a different way. I look at it more from the point of National level, where PAP has for years, push through their policies, without any resistance, even when the whole world complains. What they only need to do, and they do that all the time, is to enforce the party whip. And all PAP MPs hv to vote along party lines, whether they agree or not. Should we have a casino ? Like it or not .... All PAP MPs hv to vote yes. CPF withdrawal to 65yrs old ? All PAP hv to vote yes. I'll prefer someone to vote NO.

But I think a lot of people view elections on a constituency level. The people seem to be more concerned with bread and butter issues. Lift upgradings, flat upgradings, sheltered walkways, PAP kindergarden, market etc

That's why I think the opposition candidates are not doing enough. They need to walk the ground. Online indications will appear to favour the opposition but when it comes to the ballot box, it's a whole different ballgame altogether.
