WHY IS THE S'PORE OPPOSITION SO FRACTURED & PAP SO DOMINANT?

<Credits: Redditor Hurt_cow>


Given the almost complete dominance of the PAP in both parliament and at the voting booth, It's strange to see how fractured opposition parties are with there being at least 3 major parties that only form electoral alliances to prevent them from losing their deposit.


What are the major differences between the WP, SDP, SPP, SingFirst etc ?


Why hasn't the PAP split into more parties in recent history?


Why hasn't the opposition consolidated as duverger's law suggests in hyper FPTP system like Singapore ?
