It is morally wrong for Pritam Singh to tell voters they can safely vote for him because the PAP will still be the government.


It is morally wrong to tell voters they can safely vote for him because the PAP will still be the government. It is deceptive. It is dishonest

It is not right for Singapore.
WP has been pursuing this free rider concept for a long time.
At the local level, they tell voters they can vote for the opposition as the losing PAP candidate will still take care of them. Vote for the opposition. You still get the services of the losing candidate. Buy 1 get 1 free.
Where else in the world do you find voters voting for party B when they want Party A to be the government?
If pursued long enough this free rider problem will lead to market failure. In this case, a failure in the democratic system where voters elect a government they do not want.
Pritam insisted he was not desperate for power. In reality, he is using deception to grow power.
