THE nationwide vote swing of 9.8 percentage points to the People's Action Party in the Sept 11 general election (GE) was likely due to middle and higher-income earners backing the political status quo, in a shift from the 2011 GE when these groups showed a greater desire for political pluralism.
This is according to a survey by the Institute of Policy Studies, which polled a random sample of 2,015 voting-age Singaporeans. The findings were presented at a post-election conference organised by the think-tank on Wednesday.
