This is what people don’t understand. You can have a one-party state and still experience tremendous success.

The party is more accountable because the people are under no illusions as to who is in control, and this makes the party more responsible if no other reason than to prevent mass uprisings that will overthrow it. It also allows for more robust policymaking that isn’t halted by other parties playing politics.

Minimal / No corruption +Long term goals and plans to meet them + Thinking about the future generations and not just themselves All things that here in the UK are completely alien. Everything is corrupt and politicians greedy and get away with it, hoarding the money for themselves. We have no long term goals, and even if we do, no one owns them or follows through with them, or if they do they are only things that benefit the upper class. Everything is done on the short term to try appease current voters / the current economy, at the detriment of everyone a few years down the line.

[@zerogamer3380]

Not just in the UK, but here in Australia as well. Long gone are the generation of national leaders who put the future of the country at the forefront of their agenda. Singapore, South Korea, China....great examples of leaders dragging their countries out of poverty and becoming the next economic powerhouses. Democratic leaders nowadays are increasingly short sighted, often delivering empty promises, short term policies, just for the sake of the next election. Our future generations have no hopes of buying their own homes because they have to bear the consequences of increasing national debt.

[@roastnut]

@@zerogamer3380 Agree, but perhaps China shouldn't be as admired as Singapore or South Korea. Yes, they have raised the living standards of the population but there is also the argument that they never should have been that poor in the first place! The Cultural "Revolution" and the "Great Leap Forward" pushed the country into poverty.

"The health of society matters much more than the rights of the individual" - Lee Kuan Yew Many countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America could've been like this, but instead they constantly complain to Europeans about their problems (despite most European countries leaving them alone for 60+ years), and their massively corrupt governments. So far the only country that looks to be adopting Singapore's playbook is El Salvador, wish them well

[@Jearrow]

Most africans are aware of their corrupt and selfish leaders, most people complaining or blaming colonization don't even live in africa. Botswana was one of the poorest country when gaining independence, yet it got quite stable, became an upper-middle-income country, peaceful and innovative thanks to their bright government. As for instance, Rwanda is one of the poorest countries worldwide nowadays, however their president Kagame is truly transforming the country, doing the best for its citizens. Corruption is unfortunately the main factor holding Africa back from developing. In addition their selfish leaders won't do anything for it

They run a budget surplus every year, they have low taxes on their citizens. They have plenty of cheap sporting / leisure facilities for everyone to enjoy together. The transportation system is great, taxis are cheap. Changi airport is probably the nicest major airport in the world. Starting soon you can enter Singapore through passport e-gates, no matter your nationality...truly a country that welcomes visitors without frustration. Healthcare and education are first class. They leave nobody behind ... no homeless people. The only major downside: many people squeezed onto a small rock without too much real nature to explore. The biggest plus: safety ... Singapore is one of the safest places to live. There are no dodgy neighborhoods, or chavs walking on the streets looking to mess with your life.

And that was why Lee Kuan Yew had to rule those formative years with an iron fist... my father was already a working adult during that period and he often shared how the general population was divided along racial and language fault lines and many had all kinds of ill-informed opinions from hearing/reading what we would now term as fake news. If LKY had granted full freedom of the press at the beginning, Singapore would have gone no where but become a puppet of some larger power controlling behind the scenes. It's so tiring to hear the Western media still peddling this criticism despite the undeniable outcome of those initial policies.
