4-cornered fight in PE 2011, 4-cornered fight in PE BE 2013, the differences.
Some of u might compare with the Presidential Election in 2011 with this by-election, with a similar 4-cornered fight.
But I think there are some very fundamental differences.
In PE 2011, although Mr Tan Cheng Bock is purported to be his own man despite being previously from PAP, the opposition voters were divided in their strategic voting between Mr TCB and Mr Tan Jee Say. In the end we all know what happened.
As for BE 2013, I think there is no such concern already. There is really only one target to rally behind, that's why Asst Prof also tipped it as a 2-horse race only.
Any other angles I missed out? Do let me know too.
