Teo Kay Key, a research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, also cited group size as a major factor.
If the group undervalues the throng, there isn’t efficient masses control, and the location is too big for the crowd that shows up, she said, “it would cause chaos for local residents.”
Rally locations should be accessible by public transportation and have near parking choices, Dr. Teo remarked.
Would RALLIES MATTER?
In a modern age, physical demonstrations are still of little value to both political parties and citizens, said watchers.
While many connections and contacts now take place online, persons also need demonstrations to expand those conversations and interact in real life, according to Associate Professor Natalie Pang, who heads the communications and new media section at NUS.
” Social media posts are generally staged and curated for good impressions”, said Asst Prof Ong.
While, according to him, audience size alone does influence perceptions of the recognition of a party at a real rally.
They may turn to officially support the movement in the event that they are fearful of the activity itself or afraid of revealing their support for it, the scientific said.
Real rallies also provide a personal element that voters cannot infer from just looking at campaign material, according to Dr. Teo.
Voters do evaluate how officials act in public places other than their official social media or publication programs, she said, “because it reveals who they are as individuals.”  ,
This includes their character and personality, whether they’re easy to view and whether they show problem for potential components.
