Singapore Elections: Dominant Party, Controlled System
Singapore ElectionsHere are some fried facts (quick, crispy, and hot!) about Singapore's elections:
1. Dominant Party System
The People’s Action Party (PAP) has ruled Singapore since 1959 (even before full independence in 1965).
It has won every single general election, usually with a supermajority.
2. GRCs – The Ultimate Power Move
The Group Representation Constituency (GRC) system groups multiple candidates together, requiring at least one minority candidate per team.
Critics say this favors the PAP, as strong opposition candidates can be 'drowned out' in a team loss.
3. Short Campaign Periods
Elections in Singapore are super short—just 9 to 10 days of campaigning!
This limits opposition parties' ability to build momentum.
4. No Exit Polls Allowed
Publishing exit polls on Election Day is illegal—to prevent influencing voters.
5. 'Cooling-Off Day'
The day before elections is a 'cooling-off day'—no campaigning allowed, not even on social media.
6. Strong Mandates, But Declining Vote Shares
The PAP usually wins 60-70% of the popular vote but has seen a gradual decline (e.g., 61.2% in 2020, down from 69.9% in 2015).
7. Elected President? Sort Of…
The Presidential Election is technically non-partisan, but past presidents often had PAP ties.
In 2017, only one candidate (Halimah Yacob) was deemed eligible—so she won without a vote.
8. Opposition Wins Are Rare (But Memorable)
The Workers’ Party (WP) is the only opposition party to win GRCs (Aljunied in 2011 and 2015, and Sengkang in 2020).
9. 'Walkovers' Happen
If no opponent runs in a constituency, the PAP candidate wins by default. In 2001, 75% of seats were uncontested!
10. Social Media Rules Are Tight
Online election ads must declare their sources, and fake news laws (POFMA) can be used to clamp down on misinformation.
Bonus: 'By-Election Effect'
When opposition parties win a seat, the area often gets upgrading funds slower—seen by some as a subtle political message.
Singapore’s elections are orderly, predictable, and tightly controlled—just like the country itself! Would you like more details on any of these? 🔥🗳️
