The National Solidarity Party ( NSP) will be “more aggressive and vocal” in future interactions with other opposition parties, according to its secretary-general Spencer Ng on Saturday ( May 3 ).
After trial counts for its two contested districts were announced, he said, “opposition unity in this specific GE is an fantasy.”
Since the criticism group has used this as an excuse to move over us, we are not going to abide by the gentlemen’s laws any longer. “
In the May 3 elections, NSP entered multi-cornered battles in the GRCs of Sembawang and Tampines. In the wake of the change in the political boundaries, other opposition parties staked delayed claims. In the previous vote, it had contested both districts.
The group only received 2 this day. 32 percent of the votes were cast in a three-way draw in Sembawang GRC. With a score of 67, the People’s Action Party ( PAP ) won. The SDP received 29 percent of the vote, compared to 75 % for the SDP. 93 per share.
The NSP just managed 0 in the hotly-contested Tampines GRC, where four events played individuals. 18 % of the vote was cast. With 52, the PAP managed to win the seat. While the Workers ‘ Party ( WP ) won 47 % of the vote share, 02.2 % of the vote share. People’s Power Party ( PPP ) won 0 and the PPP took 37 %. 43 per share.
OVERWARDS LANDSCAPE ARE READY TO BE CROWDED
Because neither NSP team managed to win at least 12 games. Applicants for their vote deposits lose 5 % of the votes cast.
However, Mr. Ng claimed that it was a” small sacrifice.” He claimed that voters have rejected a more “centralized and modest ” group like the NSP, opting instead for more “radical” events, and that the results are “surprising”.
We may be too reasonable because of the political leanings we have. ”
Given that they would be multi-cornered fights, the NSP said in a statement following the announcement that the final results would be a problem.
Our message was a risk that our party’s words would be overshadowed in an increasingly crowded criticism landscape, the party said.
But we made the decision to stand strong, not for ourselves, but for the citizens we have not abandoned. ”
The NSP urged greater cooperation and mutual admiration between the opposition events in the statement.
Additionally, the organization stated that it did not contest for the sake of motivation.
We filed the lawsuit because we think Singapore deserves better than a two-party program, stronger than last-minute choices, and better than being left without a decision, the statement read.
We focused on the issues that Singaporeans are most concerned about: the rising cost of living, housing pressure, job stability, and the integrity of our old.
We even raised the need for more transformation in our political system, making sure that every message, not just the loudest, is heard, something that few would dare to do. ”
The NSP urged the removal of the goods and services tax ( GST ) on the most basic items, mandatory National Service for new male citizens who are eligible, and setting specific elections dates.
Does REMAIN TO WAL THE GROUND
Despite the party’s significant loss, Mr. Ng claimed there are” no regrets.”
The initial goals were to serve the people and act as their champions, he continued, noting that the outcomes do not indicate the efforts that his team has made over the years.
The group performed worse than it did in the previous vote.
In direct battles for both divisions in GE2020, the NSP faced the PAP. Therefore, it received 32. In Sembawang, 71 % of votes are cast, and 33 are cast. 59 % in the Tampines.
The group stated; in its declaration early on Sunday night that it will continue to stand up for people “not merely during votes, but every day thereafter”.
Because the struggle to create a better, friendlier, and more diverse Singapore does not begin or end at the ballot box, the party said, adding that it will consider the outcomes and regroup before proceeding.
Mr. Ng even expressed gratitude to the voters in both divisions for having “walked along ” with NSP for the past five years.
He continued,” We are not going anywhere, as I said. We will still be there, and we will continue to attract more members in the upcoming times. ”
