The dust selection of the six states in Malaysia is settled, but the so -called green tide rolls up again, not just a political wave?This political wave continues to roll on Malaysia politics.
Before the national election of Malaysia last November, the political arena can be described as the three heroes, and there are Barisan Nasional that ruling the Malaysian country before the 2018 election;Alliance.At that time, the governing group in Malaysia was quite paradoxical. In principle, the BN and the National Alliance co -organized the joint government, but because the Barisan Nasional (mainly the UMNO dominated the BN, or more appropriately, it was the mainstream in UMNO.) Not only is he excluding the national alliance, but even the Umno non -mainstream in the national array, but the then Prime Minister of the country, the then Prime Minister of the country, has led to the coalition government.
At that time, the Pakatan Harapan of the opposition party was once again. Seeing that the politics had been unstable, he resolutely signed a memorandum of trust and supply with the government led by Eismore, that is, supporting the government when voting by Congress, but did not join the United Government.
UMNO (the mainstream faction led by the party chairman Ahmad Zahi) at that time was full of confidence, mainly in the early presence of Malacca and Johor, which had been held in advance, and the selection of Johor.Not only did the Pakatan Harapan fall into flowers, but also almost covered the National Alliance forces.Therefore, UMNO has been making noise at the time and asked Esmai to hold the election as soon as possible, so that Barisan Nasional can govern alone.Esmai tried to extend his term as much as possible. He was dragged until November last year disbanded the Congress, but he failed to get rid of his fate and became the shortest prime minister in Malaysia.
The procrastination of more than half a year has brought a turn to the National Alliance.At that time, the National League was led by the Tu Tuan Party, which was a large parliamentary seat, and Mu Yuding, the chairman of the Turkistan party, wanted to wait for the opportunity to take over the house.As for the Islamic Party of another major member of the National Alliance, at that time, he was mainly engaged in political cultivation behind the scenes, allowing Muyudin and the Turkish Party to lead the show before the political stage.
The Issima government reduces the voting age of Malaysian voters from 21 to 18.This policy was proposed by the Pakatan Harapan, because the Pakatan Harapan took it for granted that since it was very popular among the young voters, reducing the age of voting will inevitably bring more votes.The bill was approved by the opponent's disagree.The long -term political cultivation of the Iraqi Party is a religious school that has been set up in all parts of Malaysia, instilling the religious concepts advocated by the party, and cultivating students' loyalty to the Iraqi Party since childhood.Reduce the age of the voting age.In the subsequent national elections, the Iraqi Party vigorously mobilized young supporters to vote to support the Iraqi Party and the National Alliance Party.
In the Malaysian election last year, the Turkish Party of the National Alliance played the most national conference seats.The arrangement of "two".However, the results of the election are stunned. Although the overall results of the National Alliance are still unsatisfactory and failed to win the governing power, the Iraqi Party has won the majority of the elections.After continuing, Umno, who has long claimed to represent the interests of Malay, far away.The so -called green tide appeared at that time. It symbolized not only the Iraqi Party gradually led the national alliance, but also the most significant rise of religious conservative forces in Malaysia politics.The concern caused by the rise of the green tide is much larger than the united government and the Barisan Nasional to unite the government after the election.
In this round of Liuzhou, the National League changed to more seats by the Islamic Party.State selection results maintain the three states of the National Alliance and the Government of Solidarity, but the green tide has won a lot. Although it is not as predicted before the election, the Selangor is deemed to be one of the Pakatan Harapan fortresses, but it has also won the state40%of the state seats.As for the Penang of Penang, another Fortress of the Pakatan Harapan, the green tide not only won more than a quarter of the state seats, but also followed the national election of the Prime Minister Anhua's election in the election of the national election last year to defeat Anwar's love female slave Rulu. This time, it also swept away.Three state constituencies in their subordinates.
On the other hand, the three fortress states governed by the Iraqi Party, the unity of the government should not eat zero eggs like Dengjialou, or just win one or two seats like Kedah and Jilandan.The Iraqi Party's winning rate is 80%, and only 10%of UMNO.In this round of states, the unity government has won more votes than the green tide as a whole, but it is mainly because the vast majority of non -Malay voters are afraid of the green tide.As for most Malay voters (preliminary estimates at least 70 %), votes are voted to the National League.
This shows that the political force of the green tide continues to ferment in Malaysia politics.In the next few weeks, Malaysia will usher in several national re -elections, and it will inevitably become the wrestling field of the two major camps again.If the green tide continues to siege the city, it will be even more powerful.
