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.

same same.. wld like more opposition in parliament but will not vote out the stalwarts like MM, SM, PM and a few other competent ministers.
The rest are all dispensible.
Why? In order not to rock the system too much lor. Retain some form of continuity.
So if I opposition, will concentrate on the easier to pick SMCs or even GRCs with not so strong anchors.
There is really no justification for GRCs, PAP is simply using GRCs to bring in the unvote-ables.., those who would otherwise not get a chance to be voted in.
We shld try to get rid of this GRC thingy, but HOW???
