Singapore General Elections 2011 - debriefing - impact on Government
In previous entries, I covered the following topics: the People's Action Party's (PAP) low vote share in proportion to the size of the voting electorate the negative election results from three of the PAP's heavyweight Ministers the resurgence of the Workers' Party (WP) the long-term credibility of opposition parties And this weekend saw the culmination of the fall-out from the elections. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and his new Cabinet were sworn in by President S.R. Nathan on Saturday night. This new Cabinet sees the departure of long-time ministers and appointment or promotion of new ones. This Cabinet is supposed to reflect PM Lee's realization that it can no longer be "business as usual" after the elections. Widespread displeasure and unhappiness were directly translated into the PAP's historically low vote share of 60.14%. Therefore, PM Lee really had no choice but to shake up his Cabinet massively to address the people's woes. Some cynics will say that it was just a game of musical chairs
