Political and electoral reform concerns parties, campaign finance, candidacy and the conduct of elections. Poliarchism treats it as part of a wider design question: how to make the whole system answerable to citizens, not only on election day.
In brief
- Parties built on programmes, not personalities.
- Transparent campaign and party finance.
- Elections that are one part of accountability, not all of it.
For discussion
What would change if parties had to publish and defend a programme?
