Considering that Potong Pasir may fall, my prediction for this year GE is 40% votes for oppposition but only 1 seat (Hougang) for opposition. -
Depends on whether Singaporeans want more checks and balances.

I would definitely want more alternative voices in Parliament.

Jalan besar best lose to opposition, that present leader useless
predic one GRC lost -
it really depends on how many percent of Singaporeans want check and balances. Historical results have shown 37% of opposition votes may yield only 1 seat. Even 40% may yield only 1 seat. Besides, most voters do not surf the internet and may not even know the term "Check and Balances".Originally posted by shade343:Depends on whether Singaporeans want more checks and balances.
They would probably vote for upgrading which they benefit directly. -
Such a big discrepancy.
40% of the votes to get 1 or 2 seats out of 84.
What happened to proportional representation?

PLAYING DIRTY.
But one day would have its consequences too...

In my opinion,
The opposition will still be getting very little votes,but definently alittle more supporters due to recent events.
It's really sad that we have a 'nation-builder' newspaper whereby -coughs- some people have special investments in it and therefore able to manipulate it.
As much as I believe as long as capitalism stands,we'll still be screwed,
I know for sure that at least one party is sincerely concered about our welfare. -
No i meant most people would vote for upgrading, especially for voters in a town which has poor facilities.Originally posted by shade343:You mean singaporeans do not like to look deeper and judges people based on how they look? -
i think PAP will win them all this time round. opposition 23% nia
