If we take PM Lee's words seriously, the next GE will be either after the planning or the celebration of SG50 is over [PM Lee said: "We are busy planning the SG50 celebrations, so we haven't had time to think about when it (i.e. Boundaries Review Committee) will be set up. When we set it up, everyone will know."]
SingFirst is calling all alternative parties in Singapore to start to plan as if the next GE is round the corner. We must quickly get together to discuss how to avoid 3 or 4 corner fights. We must allow what we have achieved in the watershed GE2011 (i.e. all seats except one were contested and all contested seats except one were 1 to 1 contest) to happen again in the next GE to create a tsunami GE. Let the unthinkable (e.g. the fall of a GRC to the opposition in the last GE) happen again. Another black swan event is awaiting us.
BUT ALL ALTERNATIVE PARTIES MUST STAY UNITED AND GIVE THE RULING PARTY A GOOD FIGHT!. It will be great if the largest alternative party in Parliament take the lead to unite all the alternative parties?
