Hmm...
cross purpose as it might be, would the various non-PAP political parties come together and submit a strong team for a GRC?
yes, there'd be lots of potential issues, but moving 6 MPs representing different parties could be one way for them to start looking more competent and coherent, not to mention applying a few parties' political machinery in governing their wards might actually do:
1) give their people experience in ward management.
2) pool resources to make a better ward.
as for the future of the ward in the next election (and other potential infighting), why not worry about that bridge when they reach it?

Dear Alex,
If I have to put it delicately, I would say that the Opposition (pardon the generalisation) is filled with good intentions. But for better or worse, that is not enough to make a difference in the realm of politics.
Except in private whispers, no one said he was turned off by the old-school rostrum thumping and embarrassed to be associated with them.
Actually, I was. I left after Ti Lik's speech. It was such a waste of my time.
