    • A free rider, as defined in economics, is an individual (or group) that reaps the benefits of the actions of others, without paying the cost (or underpaying for it). It is a form of market failure, and characterizes nonexcludable goods (those whose use cannot be restricted).

    ‪In his opening address to the 14th Parliament, PM Lee spoke of a number of issues. Many points he made were thoughtful, and drew on his deep experience in government, and as Prime Minister. I appreciated his insight and candor. PM Lee also suggested (and I paraphrase) that the argument that voting for the opposition because others will still return the PAP to power is what the economist will associate with being a free rider.

    In his response, LO Pritam Singh rejected this claim, pointing out that the voters in wards that voted for the WP were reflecting a genuine desire for an alternative voice, and were not free riding off anyone. He also suggested that there were aspects of politics where the WP even experienced higher costs, such as the lack of access to grassroots functions operated under the auspices of the PA/RC.

    ‪Setting aside the fact that the #workersparty would not have formed government even if it did win every single contested seat (and the PAP would have formed it, assuming no other opposition gains), the free rider claim is worth exploring from an economist’s view.‬

    Parliament seats are excludable: when a PAP MP is elected, the opposition is necessarily prevented from accessing it. Moreover, in Aljunied, Hougang, and Sengkang, the votes were potentially costly: it required trust in our candidates, that we would be good town councilors and MPs. Yet voters were willing to do so. This does not strike me as consistent with free riding. Moreover, our sense—having spoken to voters in the aftermath—is that they did not vote tactically (for the WP, hoping that the PAP would still form government). If anything, they overcame their fear of the untested, and voted for the WP

    Workers' Party member Lee Li Lian took her oath as the new Member of Parliament for single member constituency Punggol East Monday.

    That brings to seven the number of MPs from the opposition party, aside from its two Non-Constituent MPs.

    In a four-cornered race, Lee won the Punggol East by-election last month with 54.5 per cent of the votes, defeating People's Action Party candidate Dr Koh Poh Koon who got about 42 per cent.

    The result was seen as a rebuke to the ruling party amid citizens' unhappiness over rising cost of living and the influx of foreigners in recent years.

    Lee rode on the back of campaign promises that she would fight to make the voices of young couples and the elderly heard in Parliament.

    Lee will be holding her first meet-the-people session Monday night at Blk 135 Rivervale Street.
