MUDA and Parti Sosialis Malaysia's (PSM) recent total loss in the state elections - all candidates from both parties lost their deposits - has evoked questions around their credibility as a third force in our politics. We discuss why the MUDA-PSM alliance failed to garner votes, and whether our political system currently supports the existence of a third force.
