The Anti Neo-Democracy Theorist

What surprises me not the most are the calls (and counter-calls) for Minister Wong to resign over the MKS incident but more that PM Lee actually actively pursue that line in parliament. By even rhetorically mentioning it, does it only show that PM is trying to actively quell the online cries?  Or could it also be a rhetorical form of (hidden transcripts of) power struggle within high politics in Singapore? How can we read between the lines unless a PAP insider spills the beans? Also, LTK’s silence, while interpreted by PM Lee as an assent to the point that WKS should not resign, was quite indicative as usual. The silence speaks volumes of the contradictions within the very viable opposition Workers’ Party (will my calling for resignation set a precedent for the WP to resign if we do badly in the future)?

Clinton’s convincing victory at the polls in PA have not be celebrated much by the American press. The NYT downright criticized her negative tones and columnists have been hinting that she should go. Quite a wonderful representation of what the press would be when she becomes President or when Obama becomes the nominee. “Hail McCain and Obama, the two honest maverick independent candidates that would restore America’s greatness!” Says the CNN, foxnews and MSNBC. Now, that’s scary.

The SDP’s revamp of its website in terms of design and accessibility is really quite good for a political party. Almost comparable to my favorite political website of the British Conservative Party (But their standards seem to also have decline quite a bit) Maybe the PAP and the NSP needs to up their web design skills a bit?
