Not many people in Spore read Bloomberg. Most are busy thinking where to eat.

No one care about election many care where have the nicer food.

They will not care as long as they win without honour nor grace.

Sometimes, it is healthy to hv independent views and comments. One must be open minded to accept any independent comments, whether it is positive or negative. This wil put us forward instead of going backwards, which is not beneficial for any country. A more gentleman concept.

As the Elections Dept is not an independent body, but forms part of the executive branch under the Prime Minister, it enables the incumbent party to decide electoral boundaries, based on poll results in the previous election. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
