Actually did you notice how TT brushed CNA's reporter May Wong aside last night? I thought it was rather 'high handed' and reflected his true character and nature. I really doubt he has a listening ear to us, the common people. JMHO.
Yes I noticed that too... Maybe he was in a rush, still he could have just say to her ... Later please before going off... -

He did say, \"Later please...\". His attention was on his supporters, I think that's fair.growie:

Hey, I am frustrated as anybody about last evening, but one cannot ignore despite what is an apparent huge groundswell of negative sentiment against status quo, TT still managed to garner 35% of votes. There are a fair number (myself included, although I did not vote TT), that feel that the anti-estab position is too extreme, reactionary and uninformed.
Yeah, I’m pretty sour that TCB lost by 0.34%, but is it the fault of the PEC? How else would you expect them to choose candidates? What’s this angst about the inauguration dates? I mean, that it make one whit of difference if the new President got appointed on the first of September, first of October or first of November? What’s Ho Ching got to do with the PE?
Yeah, plenty of issues with the ruling party, but random tilting at windmills only scares off potential converts. The oppo are campaigning for the hearts and minds of people too, and a more restrained, reasoned approach can’t hurt. -

Just curious, are all the civil servants oblige to vote for the whites? If so they form quite a substantial figure.. That means large percentage of citizens are actually voting against TT.One observation from the result.
pro-white: 35% (consist of very old citizen or pp vote out of habit)
pro-opposition: 30%
swing vote:35% -

And the data to back this assertion? Or is it just speculation? I know of pretty smart people who will gag a voting for the oppo on the basis of such comments.

No obligation nor arm twisting. But some people choose to believe that they are obliged to.

When CNN was having a dialogue with the NUS research expert, they were toying with ideas and one of them was if the 2 candidates' votes were very close, possibly they could do another rounds of final election to determine who would really be the best man for the job. So.......is that ever possible? The second idea in the discussion was the runner's up get to work closely with the winner.... Anyone heard that?
Top 2 candidates going for final run-off occurs in several countries. -

Think they will come up with more safety nets for themselves in the coming GE. There are so many pple working for the gahment, plus those govt-link co..guess it will be very difficult for the oppo to win too many seats....
