End of Journey Start from Fresh
I believe many opposition politicians from my generation feel the same way, we might have come to the end of our political journey in the sense that, in view of the current electoral results, we may not be walking into parliament during our lifetime.
However it doesn't mean we should end here. It would be overly pessimistic that opposition politics will have no more hope. Politics is a long drawn battle.
We may have come to our end of journey but we have to lay the Foundation for the future generations of politicians and activists to take over the baton. We just have to pass it on.
So hang on there my fellow opposition politicians. We still have unfinished business to do a proper handover.

But at least you can take consolation that your team did slightly better (23.1% of the votes) than Oxford graduate Tan Jee Say and team.(22.3%)
I also agree that you may not be walking into parliament during your lifetime. So move on, perhaps even to overseas like HK, to pursue other more worthwhile things than to be a "always fighting losing battles" opposition in Singapore.
one more election cycle then hand over? or 2 years from now? or consolidate all/most "nano" parties to bigger one (still small)?
WP in my opinion is still small.

Sorry to say that both results are disastrous - all less than 25%, the difference is immaterial.
