The argument has digressed to "if PAP is not good enough, then can Pritam do better", but this is not the issue.

For me personally, I dun need PAP to be replaced right now because there is no better substitute. But they have done badly in recent years and this got to be reflected in the polls. It cannot be 30% of people opposed the govt yet the number of opposition seats in the govt is much fewer than 30%.

PAP's number of seats must be reduced so that they know they can't brush off people's dissent easily. Now their style is, "we've already explained why we need CECA and why GST has to be raised, if you can't accept them it's too bad for you". I'm not totally convinced of their defence in the Ridout issues as well.

It shd be instead put it as “they hv done TOO badly.” The nos. of ministers and MPs are excessive. Many are doing duplicate functions and can be redundant.
