Answer:yes
Is there a problem with democracy? The foundation of democratic government is the selection of political officials through regular, fair elections; these elections provide an opportunity for public deliberation, allowing citizens to make choices not only on persons, but on programs as well. Elections also ensure that government operates based upon the wishes of citizens and provides a protection against governments abusing their own people. Ideally, elections should lead representatives to focus on the public good and make well informed, carefully discussed choices. Yet, the options actually discussed are shaped by the desire to secure public status and the prospect of reelection. This election issue leads to some predictable problems, and the very idea of an observant and informed electorate calling politicians to account for their choices may sometimes look like a fiction. Let’s explore some of the biases that the reelection incentive creates and some possible ways of reducing their influence.
Visibility bias
From the perspective of citizens concerned about large problems, the first mistake reelection motivated politicians make is to focus overwhelmingly on visible issues. Talking about and working on visible issues provides politicians a way to communicate to voters that they are active on behalf of constituents. If working on the visible issue provides a means of funneling resources to the constituency of the elected official or party, all the better from the perspective of elected officials – so long as the politician or party gets credit from voters. There are few electoral rewards for tackling problems that voters do not care about, understand, or recognize as problems.
