Singapore People's Alliance

Singapore People's Alliance

The Singapore People's Alliance was a political party in Singapore founded in 1959 that was drawn from the abandoned political party Labour Front and has never won any seats in the Parliament of Singapore. Following the general election of 1959 the Liberal Socialist Party merged into it.

After the entry of Singapore into Malaysia in the context of merger, it did not play a significant role in the national referendum of 1962 which approved the merger. It did not contest the general election of 1963 which was held under the context of Singapore being state of Malaysia. Meanwhile, the political focus shifted towards the PAP-UMNO rivalry within Malaysia and rivalry between the PAP and the Barisan Sosialis.

The Singapore People's Alliance was eventually dissolved in 1965 after the independence of Singapore.
