But what is interesting is that from the results, the ruling party enjoy relatively good support in the west from those lower working class. But cracks have began to emerge in the east from the more educated, middle to upper income class.

The upper class could be considered the haves, while the lower working class could be considered the have-nots. The PAP are pandering to HDB prices, and rising costs that does not affect the higher-income classes (because they have more money to spend), so naturally, these people didn't vote for them.
Have v Have-nots has always been a mainstay in many political competitions because they have different wants based on their lifestyles; the former may want a better life while the latter may want to be able to get more out of what they have in life. It is a murky area that sometimes, if the income gap is wide enough, unrest breaks out.
Though I would like to see how PAP tackles the rising cost issue. It is moved by external factors and there is little the government can do, other than doing some subsidising until the shit blows over. But it isn't going to be over soon because Dr Breen is still printing money, and those retards in the Mideast
won't stop fighting amongst themselves.
Come to think of it, TRL must be crying himself to sleep now since Nicole Seah didn't win Marine Parade - he wanted a chick in the parliament so he can get more motivation to edit and cover political reports at work.
