Description

<p>This article investigates the effects of individual socioeconomic attributes on perceptions about the electoral system that support the dominant party rule in Singapore. We test the hypothesis that intergenerational differences, income gap, educational gap, and ethnicity affect the voters’ perceptions, based on the data of the Post-Election Surveys conducted in 2011 and 2015 by the Institute of Policy Studies Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore. By using logistic and OLS models, we examine the effects of four variables (age, income, education and ethnicity) on voters’ assessment of the current electoral system. The results show that intergenerational differences and income gap affect their assessments of fairness of the system and their preferences for maintaining it. On the other hand, the effects of income are not robust, and ethnicity has only limited effects.</p>
