Post Mortem of recent election

Categories:

As with all elections, a post-mortem is conducted to review the election strategy, results and the way forward. Here is Wormie's take.

They say don't talk to strangers. Good advice, but they forget to tell you don't talk to acquaintances as well especially if he is from the other side.

You should always be courteous to civil servants. Now there is added incentives for you to be courteous.

If you want to apologise, memorise what you need to say. Otherwise it will be misconstrued as insincere.

Learn how to write clearly and not in any convoluted way. Otherwise it may be misconstrued as being written by lawyers.

Predictions by George Orwell in his novel 1984 has proven wrong. Now not only are you being watched but you are listened into as well.

If you can't speak English well, then you can't write English well.

The Fine City, just added another one - Any resemblence to sounding loud or threat to any civil servant maybe a crime

The way to be an Election Idol is to join the opposition.

The main issue in this election is not upgrading, nor NKF but Gomez

First World government still uses Third World political tactics. Only difference is that it is more transparent.

Only 5 people are standing for governing party according the ST - LKY, GCT, LHL, WKS and KBW. The rest are just supporting cast - including new candidates.

Opposition MP works harder than government MPs. 82 government MPs represents two-thirds of population as against 2 opposition MPs representing the rest.

Now we know why the country is doing so well. Its leaders has foresights and sixth sense. They are able to predict the further interogation of Gomez. Clairvoyance?

Well done Singaporeans. You are not money-faced or easily swayed by material things. But then again rejecting a total of $180 million dollars, ......

SMC may not be viable next election. Too much effort with bad results. No economy of scale. Why campaign so hard and still lost in the end.

The way forward maybe to have one superGRC - all or nothing rule! Many benefits if opposition cannot make full quota of seats - No election, save campaign money, save peoples time listening to rally, no traffic jam, stable government, more time for family............
