List of Landslide Victories - Singapore

Singapore

The People's Action Party has continuously enjoyed winning large parliamentary majorities since its first victory in 1959, when Singapore was under British colonial rule.

• Singaporean general election, 1959: The People's Action Party led by Lee Kuan Yew won 43 of 51 seats in the Singapore Legislative Assembly with 54.1% of the vote under the first past the post system.
• Singaporean general election, 1963: The People's Action Party won 37 of 51 seats in the Legislative Assembly, with 46.9% of the popular vote.

From the 1968 to 1980 general elections, the PAP won a monopoly of seats in the Singapore parliament and a vote share above 70%, as a result of an opposition boycott in 1968 and weak opposition forces seeing little success. This trend ended in 1984, when the PAP won less than 65% of the vote and the opposition parties returned with a presence in the legislature, but with the PAP continuing to hold a large parliamentary majority (above 90% of seats in the parliament). This was wildly exaggerated as a result of the Group Representation Constituency bloc voting scheme implemented in 1988 with the PAP winning 60% and above vote shares.

However, one instance of a landslide (in terms of vote share) took place in:

• Singaporean general election, 2001: The People's Action Party won 75.3% of the popular vote and 82 of 84 seats in the Parliament of Singapore.
