Research On Self-Innovation Of The People's Action Party Of Singapore

Under the influence of special historical background and Confucian culture,Singapore has formed One Party Dominant System.The People's Action Party(PAP)was established and gradually developed during the national independent movement against British colonial rule.Through the continuous reform of political parties,the PAP gained political power and long-term one-party rule.The main characteristics of Singapore's political party system are multi-party competition,one-party dominance,and the party has a higher position than the government.From the perspectives of politics,economy,culture and society,the reasons for the PAP's one-party dominance mainly include: the political system that conforms to Singapore's national conditions is beneficial to the PAP's political power,the rapid economic development has enabled the PAP to obtain the support of broad masses,the influence of Confucian culture and the need for stable development of multiethnic society.Although the Singapore People's Action Party is the dominant party in Singapore,its party system also has the characteristics of multi-party competition.The ruling status of the PAP is legally obtained through competitive elections.However,with the continuous advancement of political democratization,the people of Singapore are increasingly demanding democracy.At the same time,with the stagnation of economic development,the conflicts of culture and interests brought about by the complex and varied social structure,the reduction of public support degree and the continually strengthening of the opposition,the PAP has maintained its ruling status and maintained a strong party vitality through its unique self-innovation mechanism.The PAP's reform and renewal of values,electoral systems,talent selection system,policies that benefit the public,communication mechanisms with grass-roots,and combat corruption and uphold integrity have effectively promoted the stable development of the PAP,which has also enabled the PAP to lead Singapore to achieve prosperity in all aspects of politics,economy and society.
