The Punggol East by-election is scheduled to be on Jan 26 (next Saturday), with candidates from the PAP, RP, SDA and WP. SDP had chosen to drop out of the by-election. Do you think the Punggol East constituency would still vote for the PAP? In 2011 GE, MIchael Palmer (who has now resigned from the party), won about 54% of the votes cast in the approximately 32,000 member ward. Do you think that the PAP would win this by-election contest again? Would there be a difference if the opposition parties have come to a agreement to field in the strongest candidate so that it will just be a 2-way vote?
