Electoral systems and democratisation - Prof Sarah BirchChin-Huat Wong
1) Elections are often used by authoritarian leaders to maintain power while appearing legitimate, through manipulating electoral institutions, vote choice, and voting.
2) Electoral systems like first-past-the-post that magnify the winner's power and allow boundary manipulation are particularly convenient for authoritarians.
3) True democratization requires not just free elections but leaders willing to compromise and accept losing power, though elections typically must get worse before reforms lead to improved quality and accountability.
