Proposing a New Election Model to Strengthen Democracy
A. Murat Tuncer
Abstract: Democracy seems to be the best form of government that human beings can find. However, many democracies lack quality and effectiveness. Especially in the new era, dictators use democratic rules to come to power, and they wear and abuse these rules in the most profound way to stay in control. True democracies are based on rulers' morality and society's education and goodwill. Uncouth and uneducated populist leaders establish their dictatorships thanks to democracies and continue to remain in power for a long time. The issue of how the abuse of these democracies can be limited should be the most essential subject of study in political sciences. This article explores the challenges of modern democracies, particularly the manipulation of democratic systems by populist leaders to establish autocratic rule. It aims to safeguard democratic integrity by examining historical patterns and proposing a rotational election model. The article critiques existing mechanisms and suggests reforms to prevent the misuse of democracy, emphasizing the importance of education, institutional autonomy, and moral governance.
