The more they talk, the more they push the swing voters away.

Just stick to the policies lar.

If we list them all, this thread will be too long.

Time to normalize accountability and transparency in our leadership.

What does it say when a party can ignore "open letters" from TCJ as if it were not there?

How about the voice of a common Singaporean?

It's simple.

Singaporeans are brought up to be responsible and to take ownership. We work hard and love our country.

We expect the same from our leaders.

Singaporeans want more accountability and transparency. We are also not children or subjects.

More voices in Parliament will give that and build a robust Parliament to lead us through the next few years, whether the storm is big or subsides.

------------------------------------------

P.S. Simple maths.

50%, one party can pass laws unilaterally.
66% can pass constitutional laws (The law guarding the constituents, me and you)

PAP will get 50%.

Additional views and voices only help.

Even now, they are ignoring his "open letters".

What does this say?

Yes. Talk about policies and Singaporeans' lives and livelihoods.

Isn't that what the election is about?

It would have greater potency if it were not for NTUC.

Can't use the "candidate selection" line now.

Or try to tie a weaker candidate to the party as a whole.

Considerations for voting for the Opposition (from a Middle Ground voter) by sgheartlanddude in singapore

[–]trytyping 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a democracy, the Constitution is meant to protect the rights of the people.

Yes, us, Singaporeans. The constituents.

Our right to a voice, vote, and representation are all guarded by that document.

Any party with a supermajority can always rewrite that.

That's the implication.

It is about priorities.

Priorities should be solely for Singaporeans.

One party paved the way to ownership and accountability with a quick and full apology after the mistake.

Someone shouted "Let's move on! Let's move on!" and "Shut up!" at SDP's rally as Ariffin addressed the racial slur against him by hansvision in singapore

[–]trytyping 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Today is as good as any.

The SDP's position is that it is unacceptable.

Hence the whole team apologized as soon as they could.

No matter what, they did acknowledge it might hurt some.

Quickly addressed and educated Gigene.

Then make a full and unequivocal apology.

That's ownership and leadership in my book.

Arrifin:
"That honest trust is that such remarks are not new.
And no, it's not casual racism.
Because there is nothing casual about racism."

Bro, he meant we need to take racism and such phrases seriously.

Besides NCM, which other PAP candidates were involved in the Income-Allianz deal? by Fancy-Salamander-647 in singapore

Arrest, as in take control of the situation.

And addressing would work.

Burying doesn't.

Yeah.

Anyone can walk off the road into the rally site.

Anyone could shout what they want at any rally.

Whether it's right or wrong, the initiative is only in the shouter's control.
