cmv: Governments who were elected on single partisan issues are not representative and are a failure of democracy.

Most governments today are illegitimate because they were voted for on specific and often partisan issues. Here in the UK, examples would be Brexit, immigration, anti-socialism etc. Most voters don’t take into account enough issues or enough parts of the manifesto for their vote to give the government a mandate, so those governments don’t have legitimate democratic authority and aren’t capable of fully representing the country. The focus becomes these divisive issues, so anything else the government does as ‘democratically’ elected officials becomes undemocratic, since it was not part of the will of the majority. Parties deliberately push these issues to get into power, so that they can push through their real agendas with the veneer of democratic representation. It’s made even worse when these parties have close links to media (skewing votes heavily) or the wealthy/ powerful, or when these parties, once elected, don’t deliver on their promises. The de-facto approach for many parties has become deceit and back-door-deals, and they have lost (ditched) their role as genuine representatives. The agendas these politicians really want to push aren’t representing the will of the public if the public’s attention was shifted towards a single issue, or if the public are manipulated by lies and the breaking down of trust in experts. We are in an oligarchy rather than a meritocracy or democracy, and huge reforms to the democratic process need to be put in place before governments can be said to be democratically elected representatives. 

During the 2019 election in the UK, the biggest issue by far was Brexit, to the extent that the Conservative party claimed that their reelection represented overwhelming support for Brexit, ignoring the likelihood that not everyone who voted for them necessarily wanted Brexit, given the incumbency bias, their outright smearing of the opposition, their heavy links to the privately owned press, and the failure of public broadcasting to hold them to account. No government can be genuinely representative when they were elected on such grounds with such focus on one large and divisive issue. I’ve attempted to avoid pointing to any one political party, but the Conservative Party are the best example and most relevant to me (as they are the current majority party in the House Of Commons with the biggest donors and the most links to media and power, with many top members coming from wealthy backgrounds and private education). 

This is likely a simplistic overview and I expect to agree with many counter-arguments, but this is a genuine view I hold and will attempt to defend in the comments. Happy new year everyone.

Since when was anti-socialism a single issue? Socialism is a very diverse and wide ranging economic ideology that contains a lot of different policies.
