In a way it's sad that pragmatism has won out over ideas. I know some folk in the SDP, they are really smart people and thinkers. A caricature could be that they are the intellectual opponents of the PAP whereas the WP are the electoral opponents.
Oh... you mean like they also live in an ivory tower? Albeit not necessarily the same one as the ivory tower the PAP is accused of living in. :evil: -

Yup, I tend to agree that on a policy level, SDP seem to be more analytical and creative.Way2GO:
[quote=\"sleepy\"]And even more suprisingly they managed to woo some new strong candidates to join the party. Seriously wondering why these candidates wanna associate. 良禽择木而栖 yo
u r prolly identifying CSJ as SDP.
there r quite a few highly educated n qualified ppl in SDP, n they r likely more attracted to SDP's progressive n liberal ideologies n democratic ideals rather than CSJ's confrontational style of politics.
SDP, as a party, has been at d fore front of policy debates.
However, do tend to agree dat association with CSJ at d helm has make them rather unelectable at present.
WP on the other hand, is a disciplined electoral machine.

In that aspect, I do believe that WP is taking the right path. They do not need thinkers at this point in time, they need workers who are willing to work the ground, gain support, win votes. When they get a stronger foothold in the parliament, the thinkers will come in. -
