Here comes the spin doctors
I think the opposition did well last night. Certainly better than 2001, and its efforts have been recognised by voters. With the obvious exception of SDP, which has been on self destruct mode for a long time. If you discount the SDP result, you’ll see that the SDA and WP did really well. Of course, today’s headlines scream how PAP has got a strong mandate, how it did better than 97 (but conveniently downplaying 01) and how it downplays PM’s embarassing 66% win over the “suicide squad” of WP. Now that was a slap in the face, nothingwithstanding all the spin that the media is doing to potray it as a good result for the PM. To put it simply:
