Online chatter got Tan Jee Say a 25% share? Maybe not...

Dr Derek da Cunha refers to a talk he delivered at SMU before the general election in which he suggested that an ?irreducible core of anti-People's Action Party voters? formed 25% of the electorate. Mr Tan Jee Say aligned himself most closely with this segment and he won around 25% of the vote. The writer argues that this undermines the theory that online chatter had generated Mr Tan's support.
