Tony Tan: PAP has strong mandate of 81 out of 87 seats

[jeesus]

During the TOC forum, that was what he said. There you go. Most of the electorate agrees with PAP's policies.

I really ponder how 60.1% polling result is a mandate from the people. This is a freak event as a result of Gerrymandering and GRC barrier. It is a system ulterly unfair to the people of Singapore.

Forget about 60% vote share. The mandate is 81 out of 87 seats, allowing PAP to do whatever they like with the constitution. If this is not strong mandate, what is?

81/87= 93% mandate

in first past the post, one will win 90% of seats with 60% popular vote.

imo we should consider some sort of proportional representation.
