Latest Wikileak:gov interfere in the media reporting

We can't rule out the possibility of allowing dual citizenship to boost the next GE votes.. But everything cuts both ways, they win some new votes, they may lose more current voters too.. Afterall, real Citizens won't be happy about too many new "Citizens".

 

Well, gerrymandering is pappies' trademark as some would call it "gangster politics" championed by familee..

 

The post GE2011 Singapore is intereting to watch

 

my view of Sg voters is such that ard 60% are miw diehards. As long as miw maintains stability, nothing will change their minds about them. Look at this strange country, where property skyrockets, FT policy which suppresses local wages, overcrowding, highest paid ministers in the world while general population median wages stagnate, gerrymandering, yet miw got 60%.

 

This well-trained democratic nation does very well in what it is trained to do. In another democracy, such a party would have seen its end of days long ago.

 

If by 2016, some of the 60% change their minds, miw will need to simply import FT for voting. So while it can cut both ways, the leverage is on miw. As we all have seen, the press still rules in SG, not new media. Throw in FT to vote and the conclusion is foregone.

That is so sad.

 

If dual citizenship includes having to serve NS, how many do you think will take up the offer?

 

Conversely, how many Singaporeans will immediately apply for citizenship in Australia?

applying is one thing, getting it is another. Aus immigration policy has tightened in recent years.

Imposing IELT is actually very easy to do and might go a long way to lift flagging standards. Well it is glaringly apparent to me what they are up to.

the PE gives a better gauge that only 35% actually support PAP.

 

the remaining 25% come from the lack of a better opposition that people have no choice to vote but to vote PAP.

 

remember.

 

35% TT=die hard PAP

35% TCB=Open to gradual change

30% TJS and TKL=open to rapid changes
