A First World Parliament is a wishy-washy thing. Not everyone, including WP’s supporters, agree with the conception espoused by Mr Low.
The voters in Aljunied has only to consider two outcomes:
1. Singapore loses a very good foreign minister who creates goodwill and makes friends for Singapore all over the world. Aljunied residents also forgo the plans the PAP team has promised them.
2. Parliament loses the leader of the opposition, Mr Low who has been MP for Hougang for a very long time.
Would they want the Best Driver or a Driver without licence?
The SDP said they have no gay agenda. But it is a real concern. If there is a gay MP, the gay community will ask him to bring up the issue again in Parliament.
The NSP makes use of its star attraction, a young woman candidate, in Marine Parade to attract crowds, especially male Singaporeans. It gives the impression that their other males candidates, one of whom was a former MP, are rather impotent. It might gain some supporters but it also alienates others. It is somewhat like drink stalls using young beer hostesses to attract male drinkers.
