A true blue supporter of Opposition, and whom believe that we need a strong alternative voice (be it total change of gov or having more than 1/3 parliament) will not waiver in their support over all these.
In fact, the more under e belt shots the off-whites takes at Opposition, the more determine I will vote ANYONE (or even if they put in monkeys) put in by Opposition. Definitely not voting the off-whites. Like The Noose 'interviewee' commented last week, "no matter what they do, it won't change the outcome (or decision) in 2016 one". |

They should take more effort to protect themselves, esp for this case. When something seems too gd to be true, it usually is. And who actually reads WP website anyway. Not your average hawker who needs to elk a living |

but this " true blue supporter " is far and few between ......
and this is something PAP understands ........ every election, while the opposition talks abt free speech, real democracy and human rights, PAP talks abt lift upgrading, home enhancements, building of childcare etc municipal issues .... to the common electorate, this is what matters. the number of votes the opposition wins in an election is not exactly support for the opposition ...... many actually vote against the PAP rather than for the opposition while those who vote for PAP actually vote for PAP and not against the opposition. |

You have a point.
- Opposition voters, many are pissed and voted against the regime, thus voted Opposition. - PAP voters, some are staunch voters, even fart smells like perfume. - Gian pngs, vote because of freebies and whatever carrot thrown to them. - Fart followers, pple whom just follow others blindly (my husband says pee is good, so i drink pee type) I have never once voted for the ruling. Since my first ticket (Cheng San), I have been pro-Opposition. So far, WP has done an impressive job (imo) and tackle challenges objectively. I can't clearly explain if I'm true blue Opposition, or voting against PAP. Maybe I'm confused. But I don't get taken in by the media, eg how they painted a picture of Dr Chee being the clown and embarressment (i remb that clearly, that pple used to label Dr Chee those... yet today some of these are supportive of Dr Chee). As far as I'm concern, I'll continue supporting Opposition and provide constructive feedbacks to them if I think of any. Like I told a friend (used to be pro-pap) whom said that those pple who said PAP didn't do enough to help the commoners, and if they did anything to bring pple to Grassroot to seek help. I asked in return, did the PAP reach out to those whom needed help (and not all knows where to get all the help they need)? PAP knows where all the poor pple are. Just reach out to them by having talks over there and the message will spread. Not, "3 meals at e hawker, food court or restaurant" snap. |

The comment by SG (in bold) is very crucial and WP must learnt from this episode. |

无风不起浪. - No wind wun have waves. Even thou I know hawker associations usually also play politics... but any sane politician will know better den to make them angry. They are kinda heart and soul of a community... talk to MANY residents.. for every 1 person who buy chicken rice get told - the WP MP no gd, making them pay extra for the scaffolding, last time under PAP no need pay. Recently have been seeing them gettin 1 slap after another. |
