How about a WP vs WP debate?



In the US, Donald Trump flip flopped so much that Stephen Colbert hosted a Trump vs. Trump debate recently.

Here in Singapore, in addition to flip flopping, members of the WP contradict each other and themselves so many times that it is also possible to host a WP vs WP debate.

So why do they contradict each other so often? Because they are rhetorical people saying what is convenient for the moment and what sounds good for your ears. The ground they stand on is shifting sand.

What they actually do is another matter altogether.

Just one example:

LTK vs LTK (Proposition: NCMPs have no political muscles)

LTK: NCMPs are duckweed without political muscles.
LTK: NCMPs can contribute to debates and influence policy outcomes.

And now we have Leon vs LTK.
Leon says, let's not score political points endlessly.
But chief LTK said politicians must have the political acumen to score political points.
