Why I vote for the PAP
Yes, many of the unjust issues and criticisms of the PAP are well founded. (constitutional issues, free speech, GRC, tone of govt 'scoldings' etc.)

Yes, there is definitely room for opposition voices in the parliament, to question our policy makers, to keep them answerable to the people.
But not to form the bulk of the policies.
