Non-voters are often described as biggest party. But that doesn't mean they could create such party. That unit wouldn't be homogeneous enough. -- It's debatable whether the high amount of non-voters are a sign of a functional or dysfunctional democracy. | Non-voters are often described as biggest party.

* Parties are said to be fishing in the middle of the spectrum to get as much votes as possible. That holds the threat of weaken one's own profile / identity up to the point that some critics say they look "all the same", so the not represented borders grow. | * Parties are said to be fishing in the middle of the spectrum to get as much votes as possible.

No matter what mistakes they do, most often they stay in the their position. And the affected party tolerates this behavior because otherwise the political opponent can deal damage another time undermining the perceived competences for having chosen that miscast in the first place. | * Political apathy and politicians apathy.

* Unfulfilled promises after an election disappoint. Often positions are sacrificed for a compromise so that the party is still part of the government. There's maybe a romantic misconception about democracy. In worst case 49 percent of the people could end of being not represented. Therefore it would be better not to have parties but groups of people that realize projects. -- A "pirate" once said: "as soon as my political goal is realized I've no problem in seeing my own party getting obsolete." -- But with current technology such democracy improvement is unfeasible right now and you would have to watch out for having enough coherence between the projects so that they don't thwart each other.--> | |||
