Extending Electoral Cycles to 25 Years to Preserve Civilisational Identities

Extending Electoral Cycles to 25 Years to Preserve Civilisational Identities

Imagine democracies are like a play, but the show changes every few years.

Some think this short cycle makes it hard to protect what's special to the majority of people, like their traditions.

The author suggests making the play last 25 years to focus on the big picture, like keeping a culture alive.

It could mean less fighting between groups and fewer leaders just trying to win quick votes.

Some worry this long play might make leaders less accountable.

The idea is that by slowing things down, countries like India and those in Europe can better protect their unique identities.
