With elections coming up, which party better reflects your political views? Apart from givernment policies and the WP manifesto, we haven't heard much from other parties.
Here's my list of issues and the party that supports my view most closely. Perhaps drawing up such a list will help us make up our mind:

Greater corporate transparency: Temasek Holdings to declare investments (Opposition)
Allow defence lawyers during police interrogation of suspects, even during the investigation stages (Opposition)
Stricter rules on the use of the Internal Security Act (Opposition)

Reserve low-skill jobs at the Integrated Resort for Singaporeans (??Opposition)
Racial quota in state schools to preserve racial harmony (??)
Reduced defence spending to pay for education and healthcare (??)
Prohibit public appointments that may present a conflict of interests (eg. Ho Ching heading Temasek Holdings and her husband being Finance Minister as ultimate regulator) [?? Opposition]
Stringent laws aganist NS dodgers (PAP)
