DemOCraCy

I didn't know Democracy in the eyes of certain people involve petitioning to reinstate a certain Opposition party who was out-voted by the very inhabitants of that estate?

The irony.

ToO swIfT TO CriTiSiZe

If one is to peer closely at the rallies and reports, the public seem to lapse into rousing cheers everytime an opposition party or member launches a verbal attack on the governing party.

When proposed policies are brought up (some suggested policies IMO are atrocious and simply empty promises or sugar coated treats which will NOT work nor ease any social problems - crudely put, juz bitter carrots which look good from far but tastes far from good), the crowd don't seem equally enthu or go into kallang wave mode of approval.

Are the opposed parties juz capable of 'scolding' and 'aplogising 'on the behaf of members of the governing party to elicit cheers from the public?

This is just too sad.

It irks me.

Really.

I am not one to indulge in politics or lap up every report and rally. But I am increasingly pissed with the youths of today who think that opposing is cool.

Is it cool to vote for an incapable or dogey political party in your area simply coz you dislike the ones in power?

Give them some credit. Do not overwrite what they did do. Do you think the peace we enjoyed so far simply fell from the sky and land in our laps?

I do not believe societal problems such as housing will be solved with a new party in charge. It will at most just ease up and erupt a whole new lot of other problems.

Be realistic. In time to come when a new party you favour comes into power, they will encounter the same wave of opposing voices from the citizens. It's a cycle of acceptance, simmering disgruntledness and an outbreak of revolution. 

Vote based on informed choices.
