工人党秘书长毕丹星,在今日(27日)的记者会上称,在来届选举,投选有建设性、可靠(credible)的替代政党至关重要,把可靠在野党送入国会,确保选民的选票“票有所值”。

执政党人民行动党将在所有93席竞选,而迄今工人党只会竞选21席,但毕丹星认为,行动党无论如何都会得到他们要的“强力委托”。

但他提醒,更重要的是,需要确保把“可靠的在野党送入国会”,才能保障人民的选票票有所值。

不过,除了已知阿裕尼集选区和后港单选区的留守人选外,迄今毕丹星仍未揭露其他选区由谁上阵。他仅表示在并非所有条件对该党有利、且作为政治舞台较小角色,他认为应谨慎把最后底牌在提名日才亮出来。

对于行动党候选人引起反弹出现争议,毕丹星则解释该党选择候选人的方式。在加入工人党成为党员前,这些候选人通常都是从志工开始,且他们当中许多都积极参与基层工作。

资深党员会观察并根据既有的资讯,作出评断选择,也会花时间和他们详谈了解他们。

对于李显扬儿子李绳武捐款给工人党和前进党,毕丹星卫对此未多加置评,仅表示该党对于政治献金来源都保持开放态度,且也认为人们透过这种方式积极参与政治,协助符合理念的政党成长。

工人党将在明日(28日)公布竞选政纲。
