Breakthrough: Roadmap for Singapore's Political Future

Derek Da Cunha

4.9/5 (19644 ratings)

Description:Singapore has long been a byword for political stability. Its electorate was thought to be generally stolid and politically apathetic. However, 2011 witnessed stirrings by Singaporeans for a desire to alter the political landscape. In the general election held in May, the ruling People’s Action Party saw its vote share slide to 60 per cent, an all-time low since independence. The opposition Workers’ Party secured six parliamentary seats- a significant breakthrough for the opposition. With the fall of Aljunied GRC to the WP, the ruling party’s aura of invincibility was fractured. Breakthrough: Roadmap for Singapore’s Political Future examines why the PAP was able to maintain its dominance despite the public’s unhappiness with a number of government policies, and the circumstances and context of the WP’s parliamentary gains. It also provides a prescriptive analysis of how the PAP as well as the opposition parties might navigate the political road ahead. Post-GE 2011 sees Singapore’s electorate polarized between those who subscribe to the status quo and those who want it altered. The consequence of this is that Singapore’s political future is likely to be marked by unexpected twists and turns.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
