Too many opposition parties
In Malaysia too many parties too
They make UMNO weaker
WP will not accept other parties to form one united opposition party.
Too early to announce which SMC or GRC they will be contested
PAP knows how to play good chess, many good Jūnshī and better political candidates
PAP still a better choice to rule the country.
Vote good and reliable candidates and not liar into parliament.

WP officially declared they only want to be the party with minority seats in parliament.
Cannot rule Singapore.
Only the PAP is capable to rule Singapore...😊
WP not capable enough to do the job!!!
Game over.
Let's all opposition voters know, the only way to change Singapore is to vote PSP and Coalition party.
TCB and the rest have the iron to take over PAP!!!!
Be the Singaporean Government after the next Election 😉.

During the run up to every GE for the past few decades, the ruling party has been accused of unfair electoral practices such as gerrymandering, to maintain a significant majority in Parliament. As the Elections Dept is not an independent body, but forms part of the executive branch under the PM, critics opine that it enables the incumbent party to decide electoral boundaries, based on poll results in the previous election.

The Opposition cannot win because of gerrymandering which establishes a political advantage for the incumbent by influencing electoral boundaries to create partisan advantaged districts. Such electoral engineering appears to hand the ruling party the upper hand at the elections. Ruling incumbents adopt gerrymandering to redraw the electoral map to give them a disproportionate leg up. However, such a practice is not confined to Singapore. Gerrymandering is practiced in countries such as Malaysia, Philippines, Nepal, Sudan, Malta, Lithuania and Greece etc. where the ruling party is responsible for defining constituency boundaries. Surprisingly, even Western democracies like France, Germany and the US gerrymander to maximise the effect of supporters' votes and minimise the effect of opposing ones.

Gerrymandering is accomplished by spreading voters of a particular persuasion among several constituencies to deny them an influential voting bloc in a particular area. If voters who previously supported the opposition are split among several wards which were pro-ruling party at the last election, the presumption is that the incumbent will triumph in that redrawn political boundary. Manipulating electoral boundaries is effective because of the “wasted vote” effect. By moving geographic boundaries, the ruling party packs opposition voters into a few constituencies that the opposition will likely win, wasting those extra votes. Remaining wards are more tightly constructed, with the opposition party permitted bare minority support. These constituencies constitute the majority of wards and are drawn to produce a result favouring the incumbent party.

Impossible, even want to win one more GRC ish already struggling.
In fact, the chance of opp losing more seats in a Sinkapore erection ish always much higher than them wining more. Because realistically speaking the 601 mandate wont change much one, not to mention most sinkie regardless of young or old still had the bad habit of always kpkb about PAP but still continue to vote for PAP.

There was a time when the country asked ordinary men to do extraordinary things.
But now, they'll only do it for money.

Singapore still have opposition party? Thought when Dr. Lee Siew Choh (Dr) of Barisan Sosialis leader walked out of Singapore Parliament in 1965, they were quickly replaced. No more opposition party anymore? Dr. Lee Siew Choh once gave a seven-and-a-half hours speech spanning two days, opposing the proposed merger with Malaya.

So the up coming Election, WP or Opposition coalition have high chance to topple PAP..
Unless they purposely contest in fewer constituents and let PAP has the majority seats..🤭
