Post-LKY PAP hates debates. Politics to them is about pragmatism and results, not ideology and rhetoric.
Unless debate rules are PAP-approved.
Regardless, when I heard Vivian was representing, I thought it was over. He's one of if not the best speakers and responders, and it showed. He's coherent, he's tactical, he has data and he's charismatic.
All the talk after was about Jamus Lim, but I felt underwhelmed. He's charming and intelligent, and did well for a political novice, but overall although he appealed to the hearts he wasn't clear to the heads. Plus, someone needs to tell him even as an economics professor he needs to simplify his words for the general public.
