“Si ya no dependen tantas cosas de la política, entonces es lógico esperar que se debilite no solo la voluntad de votar sino también el compromiso de los que siguen participando. Las opciones probablemente serán más volubles y más susceptibles de basarse en factores cortoplacistas. En la práctica esto también significa que los resultados electorales serán cada vez menos predecibles.”
