The SingaporeProgressiveParty, or just, the ProgressiveParty is a now defunct political party that won the Legislative Assembly general elections in 1948 by winning half of the contested seats in the Legislative Assembly, 3 out of 6.
Its campaign ideology was to advocate progressive and gradual reforms, rather than sudden, quick, radical ones, which fell in line with British policy at the time, to slowly let Singapore gain full self-government.
It failed to win the successive elections in the 1955 general elections, losing to David Marshall, and ultimately later merged with the DemocraticParty to form the Liberal Socialist Party.
