Way2GO:

HG GE2011

Total valid votes = 22,886
WP YSL: 64.8%
PAP DC: 35.2%

Let's see how d voters hv shifted one yr on.
HG BE 2012
Eligible votes
Total valid votes =21,657
Spoilt votes =
WP PEH :13,447
PAP DC :8,210 :

So 154 more people voted for DC?

Yes, looking at it fr d actual vote count (not %),
d gain was only 154 votes (not counting overseas vote < 50).
PAP hasn't make much headway despite DC being in HG one year more after GE 2011;
his emotional appeal n PAP's attempt at shooting down PEH's integrity.

The initial views of pap supporters is really funny... They looked bored. So unnatural as compared to WP... You see man on the street young and old cheering at the coffeeshop. That is the key difference.

It really came across dat WP supporters tonite n at rallies were naturally spontaneous.

[Way2GO]

TCH seemed to be in a rush to close off d face-off with reporters.

He doesn’t look happy.

[hquek]

Watching PEH say thanks. Quite not polish. Hope he will blossom in the next few years. Sincerity towards the people will count. LTK talking now…

The swing in votes is probably due to the uncertainty created by the WP members. Nonetheless, the majority stuck with their conviction to support the party of their choice.

[verykiasu2010]

the diff in vote % is only 2% compared with GE 2011


i reckon the 2% drop is due to YSL effect, not so much the NCMP

the NCMP discussion is merely fair politicking

and DPM TCH just said on TV that HG will get the HDB upgrading … better be!! my money also there even though I am not HG resident
