Disadvantages
- Can result in an elitist and unrepresentative system (e.g. Commons: 35% privately educated, 22% grammar schools, 1/3 Oxbridge, 142 women, 8 Muslims)
- Great deal of power in the hands of a few- are only accountable every few years and inbetween may do as they please- Lord Halisham's "elective dictatorship"
- The wants of the electorate may not always be put first.
Explanation:
A drawback, which is still chronic, of majority rule is that the majority always wins and minority always loses. If a country has a rigid, discriminatory social hierarchy, by means of racism or social class or income, it’s the same people every time who miss out.
It lead the people to elect a bad leaders, because some people can convince the audience true their speech just to vote for them, and the electorate will end up neglecting the good and choose the opposite but deep inside their hearts, they're wicked, selfish and greedy.
