As General Election 2011 approaches, the Opposition parties made moves to coordinate their election strategies. On 2 and 5 March 2011, the parties met at the PKMS Building to negotiate ‘territorial claims’ on electoral wards.
The Workers’ Party gained the lion’s share of the Roundtable outcome. It will contest Aljunied GRC, East Coast GRC, Moulmein-Kallang GRC and Nee Soon GRC. It will also contest Hougang SMC, Joo Chiat SMC, Punggol East SMC, Sengkang West SMC and Whampoa SMC.
Three-cornered fights are unavoidable. In particular, 3-cornered fights are expected at Hong Kah North SMC, Radin Mas SMC, Joo Chiat SMC and Sengkang West SMC. It is noted that the Singapore Democratic Alliance has backed off from insisting to contest at Potong Pasir SMC, leaving the Singapore People’s Party being the only Opposition party to contest there.
Another disappointment for WP. Maybe WP is starting the plan to destroy their direct opponent which is the other opposition, or getting themselves ready to form collaboration government with the PAP before the PAP goes looking for small party to form government if they can’t.
Do NOT let Singapore politics to turn into the United States 2 party system where dirty money politics is found.
Do NOT vote WP if there is 3 corners fight in your constituency. Vote for the voices of the people but not the silent in parliament
Speculation and conjecture. WP’s direct opponent has always been the PAP. Do you see it running down other opposition parties?
Dear all,
Whatever disappointment we have after knowing that opposition parties cannot
co-operate and work with unity, one thing for sure is opposition parties need to ensure
their continued presence, that is both Chiam and Low should not leave SMC and to contest in GRC.
