I've been up to my eyeballs in manifestos all day today and when was surprised by how quickly I got through the Progress Singapore Party one. #GE2020 #SingaporeVotes

The People's Action Party one is also quite brief, with a number of motherhood statements. The Workers' Party one, on the other hand, is like something done by that classmate who always does the extra 10-Year Series papers

(Still working on the other parties)

Okay the SDP manifesto is also very "extra credit student" energy, but it's split into different articles/PDFs—the only way to get it compiled is to buy the $42 book. I understand the need for $$$, but if there's one thing that should be foolproof for a voter, it's the manifesto.

The Reform Party one, though, is... yeah. reform.sg/about-2/press-… That's it.

I'm combing through my sixth party manifesto today (with more to go), please help make it all worthwhile by subscribing to my #wethecitizens newsletter, where all the information will be synthesised by my brain and passed on to you: wethecitizens.substack.com
