Hey MS, you owe me a beer!
I was pretty damned close!

Try June or July. I reckon the election will be before the end of May. PAP hasn't introduced enough of the new guys so it would be a little tight for April.

I know SMS said it will be mid year period, I am weighing more towards after Aug-Nov period.
BTW there will be alot of tweaking on the immigration laws.

Is there any doubt about who'll win?
They've even re-drawn all the constituency boundaries, and showered citizens in 'rebates' (of their own money), just to ensure that everything is completely fair
