The ruling People's Action Committee in Singapore holds 81 out of 87 seats (93.1%) in the country's Parliament. The contrast with the New York City Council, where Democrats control 47 out of 51 seats (92.2%) could not be greater!
@jfruh Also, Singapore is run by an increasingly unpopular autocrat who has been accused of buying votes. And it's an island.
@stuffisthings Whereas New York is SEVERAL islands!
@jfruh Plus the Bronx and Marble Hill!
"We thought about invading France with our police force but I think our food is better." @MikeBloomberg
"Which is why Curtis Sliwa and his Guardian Expeditionary Forces make landfall in Normandy tonight. We anticipate significant beret synergies." @MikeBloomberg
@SidAndFinancy "I have no idea why Curtis Sliwa invaded Portugal." @MikeBloomberg

Quinn will bankrupt the City.
@Lockheed Ventura Mmm. And let's not forget the Frozen Yogurt Fiasco we had the last time a Democrat was in City Hall.
@Lockheed Ventura Glad to hear you love stop and frisk, I guess. Jesus.
@Lockheed Ventura Maybe we should use AmericansElect.org to get a "non-partisan" mayor!
