Blame the WP and not the PAP for this election result

The groundwork for this election failure for the oppo parties was laid throughout the last 4 years since the 2011 elections. I blame this on the failure of the WP and the weak performance they produced in Parliament. The whole hearted endorsement of PAP bills and their inability to whack the PAP under protection of Parliamentary privilege is an embarrassment. A single person like Roy Ngerng had more oratory skill and reached and fired more Singaporean imagination on the CPF issue then the WP did in all the years they were in Parliament. If the WP had been on the attack right from the start instead of being on the defence from the fake Town Council mismanagement issue brought up by the PAP, they would have emboldened more of the populace. If the WP had been as relentless as Roy on the CPF issue, people would have really admired that and be more confident in voting other members of the party in. Roy forced the PAP to go on the defensive on the CPF issue. Instead, the WP was timid and weak and did no expose many of the PAP skeletons. For example, LTK could have easily stood up in Parliament and ask Lee Hsien Loong whether he is related in by marriage or blood to Tony Tan. He could have also stood up in Parliament and ask whether Lawrence Wong is related to Won Kan Seng. These simple questions with no accusations attached would show the people how corruptedly connected the PAP are. The WP could have gone on the attack on so many fronts. If the PAP adjusted or changed even some policies due to a strong WP attack, voters would have confidence that they can do more with additional members in Parliament. But did no such things. What kind of a so called opposition party is so meek when elected to Parliament? It boggles the mind. People don’t trust them, I don’t trust them. People don’t vote for people they don’t know or trust. Its better to vote for the assholes you know rather then the ones you don’t.
