Elected? In what sense? It's a one-party system, the CPC doesn't tolerate any serious opposition. Maybe you should read:
Even more confusing is Singapore - according to what I read on the wikipedia article recently, this is the first election since the eighties that hasn't been won by *default* - in most, more than half the seats were uncontested. And in this one, they won by something like 88 out of 92 seats.
Now that is a situation to confuse any democracy supporter.
