Why not. It's been Brother & Sister against PM Brother ever since the old man died.

I wish LSY had actually run against LSL.

Ya too bad LSY not running.

Listening to his interviews, doesnt look like he is a strong enough speaker against his brother.

[PNGMK]

He is a different personality but quite iron willed inside (otherwise he would have rolled over and we would have a temple to LKY on Oxley Road already).

Ya different personality totally

LHY's core argument - his brother is betraying his father's values by introducing ever more repressive measures and wanting to create a political dynasty, etc - doesn't really make sense.

LHL is very much following in his father's footsteps. If anything, he's less repressive. LKY imprisoned people for decades without trial or evidence, exiled people, bankrupted rival politicians, banned magazines after criticising him, hugely enriched himself (ie, removed anti-corruption laws so HDB conveyancing transactions could go through his wife's law firm), and disliked the poor (dodgy eugenics beliefs) - and, indeed, actually started a political dynasty.

In short, LHY can't simultaneously criticise his brother on these terms while still idolising his father. It also makes PSP a rather confusing party. What do they actually stand for? They didn't deserve to win any seats.
