GE2011 vs GE2015
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
http://www.tremeritus.com/2015/05/12/ge2011-vs-ge2015/ GE2011 vs GE2015   May 12th, 2015 |  Author: Contributions  Looking around us, it would strongly seem that everyone is preparing for an upcoming election in 2015. From ‘paper generals’ doing house visits to the almost-weekly walkabouts by alternative political parties, it would seem that choice is abundant and the vote of each member of the electorate becomes more crucial than ever to politicians as seats become more hotly contested. While anger was present in 2011, some swing voters may have voted for the PAP because the alternate parties and/or candidates then did not have any time to build rapport, as impressive as some of their resumes may seem. Now, things have certainly changed with the opposition parties – notably SingFirst and SDP – gaining more visibility through their shadow policies. a newfound choice which they previously did not have in terms of policies and personnel. The last time a prelude to this was given was during the 2011 General Elections, where almost all electoral seats were contested except for Tanjong Pagar due to some last minute technicalities. A key distinction is that the factors which led to the ‘watershed’ election then has grown as the policies which the PAP has proposed is now subjected to more scrutiny to the point with the rise of alternative media. The Trans-Pacific Partnership is now the latest buzzword, along with other incidents such as foreigners using fake degrees and perception of the PAP’s seeming inaction. Can anyone honestly say that their lives have improved since the last GE, or have viewed upon the PAP more favourably? Mass immigration continues to be a hot button issue for most of the electorate, while the cost of living has just shot up higher especially with high rentals and COEs having a trickle-down impact on business costs. The combination of political choice, an angry electorate and unresolved (and perhaps even increased) anger is a lethal one for any government. Surely, September would be a very interesting time to watch. JL * The writer blogs at mythoughtsinafewparagraphs.net. Click here to view the whole thread at www.sammyboy.com.
