Fears of global instability make voters of Singapore into the hands of a party of people

The Singapore (PAP) party has won the landslide in the elections, where the problems of life and the country’s future economic stability prevail.

Led by Prime Minister Lawren Wong in the first election Ever since he became the party leader last year, The popes took 65.6% of the vote and the vast majority of 97 places in parliament.

The Singaporets went to the polls on Saturday, experiencing inflation, wages stagnation and work prospects.

The result will be widely seen as a security flight against PAP amid fears of global turbulence.

“Singapore feels particularly vulnerable, given the size of the economy and the impact of international forces … Also, we are known to risk voters,” said Jan Chong, Associate Professor on Singapore’s National University.

The main opposition, the left Central Party (WP), could not seize more seats, but continued to hold on for 10 places in parliament.

The right -wing right -wing Right has been ruling Singapore since 1959, making it one of the longest political parties in the world.

He enjoyed the strong support of Singapores, especially from the old generations who saw the country flourishing under the Pope’s rule.

But while the elections were released from fraud and violations, critics also say the party maintains an unfair advantage through germonondering and tightly controlled the media.

In the last three polls before the Saturday, Pap saw two of his lowest voting, while WP made an increase in the invasion of parliament.

But on Saturday, the result of the popes returned to the form, as voters gave the wong a strong mandate.

In the last few years, an open globalized economy has increased inflation.

The government explained it with external factors such as Ukraine and gas wars and disruptions in the supply chain. Critics, however, say that the controversial tax on the goods has worsened it.

Given the trade war in the US and China and 10% of tariffs in the US, the authorities and experts warn even more upset for the economy and possibly a technical recession.

Against this background, Pap campaigned on stability reports.

Wong repeatedly promised that his team “will” manage Singapore through the storm “, warning that if more opposition deputies are elected, he would lose the capable ministers at a time when the most needed management.

It was a message that sounded with many voters. One PAP supporter, the startup owner who just wanted to be called Amanda, told the BBC that clients were affected by her business, stopping some projects because of the economic climate.

“The winds are not big, there is a lot of uncertainty … I want a party with experience (government management),” she said.

Although in the Pope in recent years saw a number of scandals Including one involving the Minister’s Cabinet, It was unlikely to be a conversation during the election period. Analysts stated that it was away from the mind of people who cause more immediate problems about the economy.

Some see the result as a sign of confidence in the Wong, which managed the Singapore Operational Group and became a familiar face when he regularly appealed to the public during the pandemic.

“He showed that he was capable of when COVID, which gave him confidence. He was a driving hand on that steel … And he designed this stability for future global financial uncertainty,” said Rebecca Tan, a political science teacher.

Wong is the first PAP Prime Minister to improving the party’s first election. Previous PMS found that the polling stations saw that analysts called “new prime minister” or a reflection of voters uncertain in the new leader.

A strong PAP result was also partly linked to the fragmented opposition, and 10 sides are against them. With few exceptions, most have gone bad.

Theo Kay Kay Kay, a researcher at the Institute of Political Studies of Analytical Centers, said that despite the recent elections, which show that there is a desire for political diversity, the latter “shows that people are satisfied with the number of opposition deputies.”

But, she added, the Singaporets also “seem more sample” when it comes to throwing the vote for the opposition, pointing to the WP work.

WP campaigning on a platform to reduce the cost of life and strengthening the security network.

Although he could not win more seats, he also noticed an increase in voting in the constituencies he retained, and close battles from PAP in others, securing his status as the strongest opposition party.

It turned into a secure performance despite recent conflicting cases related found guilty of lies in parliament. Many of the WP support base consider the case, especially against Singh, was politically motivated.

Turning to the supporters shortly after the results of his constituency were announced, Singh admitted that “it will always be a difficult election.”

But he added: “The slate is wiped, we start working again tomorrow, and we go again.”
