Firstly, one significant and important development after General Election 2011, the Worker Party under the wise leadership of Mr. Low Thia Khiang and Ms. Sylvia Lim will grow from strength to strength(in the next 5 years) to become a party which can contribute greatly to a good course of developing a two-party system in Singapore. To have that true democracy will help to ensure Singapore's continued progress and prosperity and further strengthen people's cohesion and unity.
Secondly, all Singaporeans must make efforts to be educated in a way that when necessary, to kick out any politicians(especially those are being paid 'out of the world's salaries and bonuses') who are incapable to serve in the best interest of people of Singapore.
From my observation of this GE 2011, the average level of awareness of the electorals need to be raised in order for us/them to vote more wisely. Perhaps, in this respect, each and everyone of us who love Singapore, can contribute by playing a role to keep each other better informed and act collectively without fear when threatened.
- WP candidate selection process is very tedious and stringent. There's no such thing as 11th hour candidate. The candidates may not be assigned to certain grounds or even signed up official membership yet but must be known to the party leaders for at least 2 years.
- WP resources and logistics are also managed efficiently and effectively. WP could have fielded 30 candidates, that'd have covered Tanjong Pagar as well, but prudent logistics management decided not.
- NSP resources and logistics were overstretched by the 11th hour cross-over candidates from RP.
- SDP is not a bad brandname. With due respect but also facing ground reality, the bad brandname is CSJ.

Good points from TKL. To add:
