Elections has become the talk of the town, and I decided that I probably should put up something short about it. There was plenty to talk about really. However, I find the comparison between Ms Seah and Ms Tin pointless, and I do not know enough about the HDB system to participate in Mr Mah and Mr Low's arguments. The gay incident is just completely distasteful and has no place on my blog. That narrows down the the fight at Aljunied.

Last election, PAP's team, won by 56% to 44%. Whether or not the James Gomez incident backfired on the PAP is another issue. This year, once again, the Worker's Party goes for another shot at the GRC, with perhaps the strongest opposition team ever fielded in the past 5 elections.

The decisions for people on the group is nothing sort of lose-lose. Supporting the opposition would lead to the loss of Mr George Yeo, who really is an outstanding minster to say the least, as well as Mrs Lim Hwee Hua. On the other hand, voting for the PAP would be a serious injury to the morale of opposition parties in Singapore, with a chance that Hougang might be lost for a double whammy. Also, one worries about the chance of losing Mr Low, probably the most clear headed opposition leader out there today. As well as Sylvia Lim, now a strong voice in parliament.

The situation has moved away from what the parties can provide for the people. It has moved away from dangling carrots like lift upgrades, and new walkways. Perhaps if anything, we should be happy of the fact that the people now value the people representing them more.

I'm happy that I'm in CCK, where the vote seems much clearer.

Who knows what will happen at Aljunied, but I dare say that whoever is to have won more votes this time, the loss is the nation's.

Good luck to both teams. And may the best man win.
