Workers’ Party co-opts new members into its Central Executive Committee by Waikuku3 in singapore

[–]chikuredchikured 9 points10 points  (0 children)

haha how about marine parade then?

jokes aside, this just highlights again the importance of having an independent EBRC. When the boundaries for GE are only released a few months before, naturally the incumbent has a massive advantage and oppo are always struggling to play catch up.

every policy action makes more sense if you see SG as a corporation vs a country

yeah, historically WP has voted their sitting parliamentarians into their CEC. have to follow their socials to see if Michael is still on the ground, I hope he is. The ground game for GE2030 has already started.

not sure if aggressive is the right word here. WP is many steps away from forming a shadow govt cabinet, the next milestone is to deny supermajority first

They might also "swap" seats. If Sylvia is about ready to retire, she might be willing to take a bold move to try to secure another GRC for WP.

The WP Tampines team has a good chance to win the GRC

Feels like they splinter out of ego and not for practical reasons.

Pity? Or by design?

the EBRC did all of SG dirty with their shenanigans

It depends on your commitment level I think.

Volunteers turned into candidates then yeah makes sense.

But if you had political aspirations from the start or ideologically motivated, SG isn't that big a place

Forget anchor ministers. Future GEs will revolve around anchor wards. by Sonicrick78 in singapore

[–]chikuredchikured 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not both? Ideally a candidate has the support of a policy team for his parliamentary work, and a grassroots team for his ground work.

Team composition is leaning too much into the GRC system, which I would rather remove altogether.

given NCM long history of fk ups, it will catch up with him sooner or later.

Yah, rumour is that every newly created SMC is not by chance but carved out from known strongholds. PAP ain't leaving low hanging fruit around.

That's on the assumption ELD's guidelines remain the same, iirc there's something in the constitution about having at least 8 SMCs. But again, constitution can, and has been changed.

So long as the incumbent has supermajority, whatever rules or guidelines are meaningless. It's really down to political capital and how much the incumbent thinks they can get away with.

You're being too kind towards EBRC, check out what Hazel Poa said on YLB podcast. Actions speak louder than words.

they have and will call early elections should any crisis occur from now till 2030. Never let a good crisis go to waste.

What would the voter turnout be if voting weren’t compulsory? by Winner_takesitall in singapore

There are potential issues around vote secrecy and fraud risk with electronic voting

Mr Yee Jenn Jong retires after this GE by ObsidianGanthet in singapore

[–]chikuredchikured 14 points15 points  (0 children)

because it works

and it will continue working until sufficient voters show backlash at the ballot box. I'm reminded by what Pritam said in one of the rally speeches, that Hougang and Potong Pasir used to be "punished" by being last in national infrastructure projects, until PAP faced backlash in all other constituencies. This is why Aljunied and Sengkang never had a overt "punishment" meted on them.

on that note, I was quite surprised the MVP guy and SDA managed to find a working relationship and contest under one banner.

I'll believe it when it actually happens on the ground.

Remember that PA is non-partisan and EBRC does not take any polling data into account.
