    It's not a surprise that James Gomez is missing . It could be purely for strategic reason to help to present WP in the best light .

    If Gomez is present in the executive council , it would just give PAP more ammunition to point and say that WP supports such "dishonest behaviour"

    In this way , they can still appeal to the WP supporters and show the PAP supporters that WP is not as what PAP project them to be.

    It's not like James Gomez is completely missing from the entire picture . They can still tap on the intelligence of Gomez , but when it comes to appointing people in visible title positions , i feel that it's a good move on the part of the WP .

  2. Hmm...I believe Gomez is busy in Sweden with his political think-tank, no?

    I thought that was what he said(Or what was reported) during the Bar Chor Mee "scandal".

    well it's just another outcome that encourages PAP to engage the the superficial dirty politics that is characteristic of every campaign. they achieved their objective of getting gomez out since he is a threat. but it's not like the WP had much of a choice in the first place.

  4. I think that it is just as well that Gomez is not in the EC. He will continue to complement WP. His role is really to fight in another front, one of setting policies on a national level.

    My best wishes and congratulations to the young team. The better they are, the bigger a target they will be. But they will prevail with our support.

    Wish them well.

    The WP has got to marshall greater numbers (and not just from younger citizens, although this was so admirably done in the past few years! ) and to sustain its popularity. Already I feel that there is a scaling down of the euphoric support they had during the elections, something typically Singaporean.

    As a opposition party, we must not oppose for the sake of opposing. We are here to show the ruling party the right of the people of Singapore, so the ruling party will not have monopoly ideas that they can do what they want. We are here to enable you to exercise the right to vote and to enable you to bring your voice and your alternative views in the parliament by exercising democracy in Singapore. Therefore we need the support of the people in Singapore like you, because with you, we can make a difference and a better living for our family and our next generation to come.
    We believe that we do not need to some one great to serve the community. The only thing we need is the heart to serve, a 'never say die spirit' and willing to move a step forward.
