HUH. I was wondering what our men in white's fuss was about, when mommy finally enlightened me. After all, in the 84 places, 47 were contested, so our darling lee family only needs to win six places to win overall. But then again, they want a landslide victory, cause otherwise it'll be a lessening of power for them.

(Oi oi, my msn's being an ass again.)

But then again, what can the opposition's points against our men in white be? Lack of free speech? The GRCs?

As much as I want a gah'ment like aussie's, with free media and a general bashing of opposing parties (how fun!), if Sing's like that, we can be sure that our wonderful abang neighbour will trot over with their large numbers and toys and bombs. -_-" Weapons of mass destruction. (As you can see, I've been reading SS notes)

And much as our darling opposition loves sing and trusts us people so much, once the GRCs so much as take a leave, there'll be racial political parties trotting around waving religious banners. I mean, just LOOK at UMNO. Hence opposition: null!

Reminds me of this movie I watched, about this black guy being president. Started off with an american knowing that he won't win this election, but he believes he must find a way into the next one. So by virtue of some complex policies that I know nothing about, as long as he finds someone to contest and lose in the current elections, he can go for the next one. (Okay, i still don't understand this part.) Anyway, he chooses this random guy from a random neighbourhood just cause he appeared on television for saving an old mama. (Don't ask why. Such films are like that.)

Anyway, this guy went on elections, gave motivational speeches whose main points were that the current government wasn't fair, and that the people deserve better. Hence, with a slogan of 'it ain't fair!', and a prime minister who just so happens to be his brother who is an EX-CONVICT, he contested and he won the elections. And poo-poo to the white guy who hired him.

...

Very inspirational. Also very eye-roll inducing. I mean, it's very good for morales and whatnot, but in a basic sense, it's rubbish. America may be a very lousy country with a lousy C grade university grad as president, but its people aren't STUPID. I mean, even if our men in white are pretentious, hypocritical jackasses whom I can't stand, the general consensus is that ALL politicians are pretentious, hypocritical jackasses whom I won't be able to stand and that our opposition is no different.

And besides, when people voted for bush instead of kerry, it's cause they didn't think Kerry's plans for the future were stable. So are they likely to vote for a whiner who has no other speech material other than 'it ain't fair'? And remind me again what the upcry with all the lees in political positions is about? Something about bias perhaps? So do you think people will vote for a sissy whiner who chooses his brother, conveniently a thief, as a prime minister?

A quick look at stats.

In the most recent government election in Sing that I can remember (which isn't very recent, and happens to be in our textbook, which REALLY isn't very recent, but I'm a lazy bum who can't be bothered to get the facts right), men in white won 43 seats out of the 57. (Or is it 47 out of 53? Nvm. Let's just let the stats swing even more to the opposition.) That's 75.43% for our men in white.

Say if someone like that guy in the movie appears, and tries to win people over with cries of 'it ain't fair'. Let's say that all the people for the opposition are clinically coo-coo in the head an vote for that whiner. That's 24.56% for the opposition.

However, our lee family will not let that happen, and rebukes that guy for being nothing more than a whiner. Hence, 25% of the people voting for the guy sees the light and swings to the white ppl. That's 18.42% for opposition.

Currently the ratio of the sing population is 78 chinese:14 malays:7 indians:1 other races. Let's say half of the malays voting for the lees are racially biased and vote for the opposition instead. That's another 5.71% for the opposition. Similarly, let's say half of the chinese are racially biased and refuse to vote for a Malay. That's 7.30% away from the opposition. Then also half of the indians are happy to see a minority contesting, so they vote for opposition. that's another 2.41%. So the opposition is left with 19.54% of the population.

From my RS survey, 30% of surveyees are publically against ex-convicts. (That's not counting the hypocrites we found, but I said this is supposed to be pro opposition.) Then 15% are VERY supportive of the re-integration of ex-convicts into society. So let's take 30% off the opposition, and add 15% from the lees side into the opposition. The opposition ends up wth 25.75% of the votes, lucky them.

Then, as happens in the movie, the guy is an idiot and goes and visits everyone except the AIDs patients. Let's say the lees are stupid enough to say that the guy is pro-aids. Then he explains the situation, and 5% of those voting for lee veer off in disgust at the abject stupidity of lees for doing such an annoying thing. That's 29.46% for the opposition.

See. The Lees still win hands down. And all the calculations are to the benefit of the opposition.

Okay, so I'm realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly bored and I don't want to revise chinese, and I got the stats off a convo with Lola. But then. It makes sense. I think I'll jaw drop if the opposition wins this time.

In fact, if they win, then the first thing they have to do is make away with all the ISA things banning free speech. Cause it's the main thing against our men in white.

In that case, the first thing our men in white will do is to launch many many many verbal attacks against them. Even without waiting for someone competent to take over the parliament again, the lees will be back on the seat.

Okay, I'm going out to eat now. Yummy.
