Merits of political comprtition and why this is merit

Answer»

Answer:

The 2018 U.S. midterm elections were fierce, expensive and full of upsets, with political newcomers ousting long-tenured incumbents and Democrats unseating Republicans to retake the House of Representatives.

That MAKES them an exemplary democratic exercise from a political science standpoint: American voters BOOTED the congressional representatives who they believed did not fight for their interests.

That’s exactly what elections are meant to do: Hold politicians accountable.

But it doesn’t work that way EVERYWHERE. In younger democracies, our research shows, a SUPERHEATED campaign with numerous candidates MAY actually impede democracy.
