If election results do not show the real choice of the people, what will happen to democracy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The legitimacy of the government will weaken

Correct answer: A, the government’s legitimacy will weaken. Democratic government depends on the idea that rulers are selected through the genuine choice of citizens. If counting, reporting or some other part of the election fails to reflect that choice, the result no longer reliably expresses the people’s will. The government may still hold office, but people can reasonably question whether it received a real mandate. That weakens legitimacy and public trust. B is wrong because hiding or distorting popular choice damages democracy. C is wrong because inaccurate results do not make voters freer. D is wrong because competition does not automatically increase when results are unfair. Memory cue: a false result means a weak mandate, and a weak mandate means weak legitimacy.
