@pan, yes a debate is possible–it just takes some non-partisan organisation or group to organise it. There might be some TV clips if there is a news report, but unlikely Mediacorp is going to cover it in its entirety.

Is it possilbe to have an election debate on TV just like the ones in these contries for the next Singapore GE? I think this would be fairer for all parties who can present their ideas and policies on mainstream media.

Looking back on that election now, isn’t the result remarkable. Britain got Dave Cameron, the US got Obama and Australia got Kevin Rudd. Rudd and Cameron have so much in common they are virtually Siamese twins. The Australian people soon lost patience with Kevin and he was sacrificed by his political party. I think the US election will be a watershed moment for the country. What say you?

Looks like UK isn’t alone, FT reported this trend in Spain too

Centrist politician woos disenchanted Spaniards

the country’s most popular political leader among voters is neither José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, the Socialist prime minister, nor Mariano Rajoy, leader of the conservative opposition Popular party

Instead it is the hitherto obscure Rosa Díez – a former Socialist and lone parliamentary deputy for Unión Progreso y Democracia (UPyD), the small centrist party she co-founded just over two years ago

Ms Díez, 57, garners her growing support from young, urban voters disenchanted with a political system that is dominated by the two main parties of left and right
