Bersama perlu fikir semula pendekatan terhadap politik identiti, kata penganalisis
Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid berkata kempen pilihan raya Bersama sudah menemui kegagalan sejak awal kerana identiti politik liberal parti itu gagal mendapat sambutan pengundi.
Analysts suggest Bersama needs to rethink its approach to identity politics to avoid becoming irrelevant in the current political landscape. During the PRN Melaka polls yesterday, Bersama faced a significant loss in the general election, and its ideology does not align with the identity-based politics that have shaped voter behavior since Malaysia gained independence.
According to Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid, a political analyst from Universiti Sains Malaysia, "Identity politics still dominates the polling booth, and the identity-based politics is here to stay unless we achieve a new national consensus requiring new constitutional rules." Fauzi believes Bersama is living in its own bubble, free from communal politics, but this approach is too idealistic for now.
He cited the example of the Gadek constituency, where Bersama lost by a margin of more than 1,000 votes to the Putra party, which can be seen as promoting a form of nationalistic awareness.
