Every Opposition has their own agenda and direction. No one is perfect fit.

Dr TCB seems most suited, largely due to his long history in politics, his mellowed approach, but sometimes, when writings from him are posted, he doesn't always comes across as intrigued. More a down to earth simple man.

Mr CST, people like him maybe cos he has been very careful with words, served as opposition for many years.

A quick read on CST...
In 2010, Chiam tried to bring the Reform Party into the SDA. He reportedly accepted the conditions the Reform Party set out for joining the alliance, however the terms of entry were opposed by other members of the SDA's Council who blocked the move. In 2010 and early-2011, it was also reported that some members of the SDA's Council felt that Chiam was unable to properly fulfil his role of Chairman of the alliance, after he had cut back his political activities following his stroke in 2008. On 28 February 2011, the SDA's Council voted to relieve Chiam of his role as chairman, however the Council stressed that they still hoped to field Chiam as a candidate at the next general election. But two days later, on 2 March 2011, Chiam announced that the Singapore People's Party was withdrawing from the SDA, and that he would stand under the banner of the SPP instead of the SDA at the next general election.

Is he really as what is perceived?

Mr LTK is smart enough to step aside and have the party leadership be injected with new blood. Never mind conspiracy theory that he is still holding the reins there (is it proven, or just plain hearsay?)
