A birdeyes-view of the general election 2025
The general election 2025 will take place by end of November 2025. So it piques the political parties to start a universal campaigne to entice the loyalties of the electors to vote for them in the GE.
Quite naturally the PAP with its resources lost no time in the electioneering in pre-empting the opposition by sending their potential candidates to visit voters to endear themselves with them to vote for the PAP. They are definitely in an advantage over the opposition in the bras de fer for votes and would likely romp home quite easily. Needless to say this is going to be a zugzwang to the opposition and whatever they think it will definitely affect their chances of deminishing the votes of PAP.
PM Lawrence Wong expressed fear that the opposition may dislodge the PAP in the GE but he really said it with the tongue -in-cheek and within him he was never so sure of retaining power. This was his hypocrity in display. It was definitely a scare tactic to frighten the voters to vote for PAP.
Workers' Party with Pritam Singh in the lead was going into downfall over his scandalous behaviour in ex-MP Raseeah Khan's lie in Parliament.
Progress Singapore Party (PSP) is the only salvation under the crack leadership of Dr. Tan Chen Bock. They may not be able to dislodge the PAP but may be able to give them a vigorous run for their money. They could make a great dent in their supremacy if they could get enough candidates of the calibre of Leong Mun Wai to compete with the PAP. Leong has shown that he is pugnacious enough to scare the shit out of some PAP ministers.
Recently three prominent activists Terry Xu of TOC, PJ Thum and Francis Han held a panel discussion on critical shortcomings of Lawrence Wong and PAP which will strike an intimate chord with Singaporeans but what impact it will make on PM Wong and his merrymakers will be an intriguing factor. Outwardly PM Wong may show some concern but whether thus will sting him to act is I think something which he will keep close to his chest. He may be too vainglorious to do nothing because he thinks the PAP will be returned to power in the GE.
He is crafty in character and Lee Hsien Loong endorsed him to be his successor because of this.They may think that he is the right person to lead Singapore as prime minister in the present geopolitcs in the world.for Singapore's survival.
What persontage of the votes the PAP will get in the GE will depend of how successful parties like the PSP can make in persuading the voters to make a wise choice of putting more opposition candidates in Parliament.
