If the leading party is so strong that the opposition parties see no chance of winning, it will not pay for them to converge or merge into a single bloc. Why compromise your own ideological position when it does not get you extra power? This was why PAS and DAP would not move towards the centre until Tengku Razaleigh and Anwar Ibrahim brought the dream of change. And once the dream shattered in the 1990 and 1999 elections, PAS quickly moved to pursue its Islamisation agenda and DAP lost no time in severing their ties with other opposition parties.
