Clarification needed[edit]

"During the 2011 general election, several opposition leaders stated that they would not want to accept NCMP seats. Among them was Low Thia Kiang, the Secretary-General of the Workers' Party of Singapore."

I think we need to clarify this sentence, because Low is elected as MP following the 2011 GE. We should perhaps say that they would not accept NCMP seats in the event that they are not elected. HYH.124 (talk) 08:05, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The only time someone would be offered an NCMP seat is if he or she were unsuccessful at a general election, so I don't believe it's necessary to mention that some opposition leaders said they would not accept NCMP seats "in the event that they are not elected". — SMUconlaw (talk) 17:47, 16 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding cite ref 6[edit]

Cite ref 6 seem to be referenced to 2007 Rev. Ed. Should this be updated? The other parts of the article cites the 2011 Rev. Ed. and the article also only provides a link to the 2011 Rev. Ed. HYH.124 (talk) 04:50, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not only that, other citations like cite ref 7 is also referenced to the 2007 one. HYH.124 (talk) 04:52, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The references to the 2007 Rev. Ed. are correct, because the text is referring to historical provisions that were later changed. — SMUconlaw (talk) 08:42, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
