澳門社會正處於轉型期，博彩旅遊業縱向多元化發展進程有所加快，但博彩業“一業獨大”，造成社會財富分配的不均衡。社會對民生問題、加強政府監督、提高社團與民眾的政治參與等方面的訴求加強。政治訴求的變化推動了選舉生態的變化，立法會選舉中出現博彩利益集團之間政治資源競爭加劇、選民對民主與監督的偏好加強等現象。

Currently, Macao is experiencing moderate economic diversification transformation, which has promoted changes in political appeal and election environment.
