Bloody hell, I have to give spoilt vote for this one.
Even a one day tour of Sentosa will be more interesting than NSP

Depending on which side of the coin people look at.

NSP contested in GE2011 in Marine Parade GRC (including MacPherson). This GE, WP 'snatched' Marine Parade GRC and MacPherson SMC from NSP. So if we are unprejudiced and take a neutral stand, WP is the aggressor and caused the split vote.

If we are prejudiced, WP has taken the limelight in the Opposition movement, such that whatever they do, some will always side with them, regardless.

WP is clearly on their own, not keen to work together with Opposition. They are moving in the same direction as PAP. Are we supporting PAP or WP, or are we supporting true Democracy? From this GE, my view of WP has changed!

Is this how our politics should develop?

I think SDP suits her. Personally, SDP gained my respect given that Dr Chee is very toned down and still very objective in his pursue for democracy.

Just like when RN asked for funding, he received a lot of supported, even someone giving $0.01 just as an objection to LHL's handling.

Thus from that, I see HHH being able to get some votes. Some may not agree with her, but there will also be some who will. Nothing wrong.

For $15k allowance a month, even if I break my leg today, I'll campaign tomorrow.

But in the last 4 years, appears like she had done quite well in her ward, thus changes of retaining the seat is there. She had delivered a few weeks ago, this campaigning not so likely to cause strain on her, but she may capitalize on it to gain sympathy votes from fence sitters or even those who voted against PAP in last GE.

WEST COAST: Lim Hng Kiang, S Iswaran, Foo Mee Har, Patrick Tay (PAP) vs Kenneth Jeyaretnam, Andy Zhu, Norainu Yunus and Darren Soh (RP)
Being unfamiliar with most names, can't comment much. Just noticed, WP has formed B teams (I considered Aljunied as A Team) and their candidates in each B teams, it consisted of a few prominent names. Good strategy which saw them successfully take down Aljunied GRC in GE2011.

Where is much hyped up Nadine Yap, the Harvard Grad? Don't see her name anywhere.

Sadly, the social butterfly is flying back after dancing in PE.... tmd, have to vote against ruling rather than vote for a good Opp... ZERO respect for KJ.

I'm looking at the change of events that has happened over the past week......... The first announcement by NSP not to contest Macpherson, then the about-turn that led to the resignation of Hazel Poa........ So how to trust the NSP ??
