Besides the feeling of not being represented there is also a growing discontent for politicians clinging to their positions. The problem is especially severe with ministers. No matter what mistakes they do and how big their revealed incompetence is, most often they stay in position. And the affected party tolerates this behavior because otherwise the political opponent can deal damage another time by pointing out the party has chosen/confirmed that miscast in the first place. As the parties see themselves unable to solve that dilemma people believe more and more that the true motivation of politicians is just money and that they help out each other in getting the profitable positions.<!-- | ||
* 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 vote directly for 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. A few aspects of party policy will probably survive the upgrade.--> | * Unfulfilled promises after an election disappoint.
