Whither Malaysia: Re-thinking the Future of Malaysian Politics / $rOsman, Mohamed Nawab Mohamed -- $tIndex 330 $aAfter the watershed 2008 election when the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition lost its customary two-thirds control of parliamentary seats, there was the not unreasonable expectation that BN would slip even further in the much-anticipated Thirteenth General Election of 2013, which is the subject of this book. In the event, the BN lost the popular vote to the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) but still retained the reins of government. In this book, prominent Malaysian specialists and experts will provide the reader with fresh insights into the evolving character of electoral politics by delving into its failing model of "consociationalism", the extent of malapportionment in the electoral system and its effects on outcomes, how "new politics" continue to meet the resistance of old modes of political behaviour, the path-dependence analysis of twin-coalition politics, the significance of the FELDA vote bank, the issues animating electoral politics in Sabah, Sarawak, Terengganu and Johor, why the PR continues to command urban support, the role of the biased mainstream media, and details of the campaign strategies of both coalitions. In this new study of Malaysia's electoral politics, it is evident that the ruling coalition has lost its first-mover advantage and is only able to hold on to power due to the first-past-the-post (FPTP) single member plurality electoral system. This sort of system has given rise, in the parlance of electoral studies, to "manufactured majorities", that is, electoral outcomes that confer a majority of seats (simple or large) to a single party or a coalition of parties without commanding a majority of the popular vote. Malaysia's FPTP system, imbued as it is with a generous proportion of "rural weightage", continues to favour the BN, oftentimes generating large manufactured parliamentary majorities. While some may argue that electoral politics have reached an impasse, after two general elections, Malaysia's twin-coalition system seems to have gained some traction and, thanks to its federalism, with the PR having considerable control of state governments in the Malay heartland and of the more urbanized states of Selangor and Penang. 606 $aElections$zMalaysia$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aPolitical parties$zMalaysia$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aElectoral coalitions$zMalaysia$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aMalaysia$xPolitics and government$y21st century 615 0$aElections$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical parties$xHistory 615 0$aElectoral coalitions$xHistory 676 $a324.2595082 702 $aSaravanamuttu$b J$g(Jayaratnam), 702 $aLee$b Hock Guan 702 $aMohamed Nawab 712 02$aInstitute of Southeast Asian Studies. 712 02$aStrategic Info Research Development. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796036103321 996 $aCoalitions in collision$93757680 997 $aUNINA
