1. In a GRC, the performance of one candidate can affect the entire team's chances of winning. If a politician is unpopular, their presence could drag down the overall vote share, jeopardizing the chances of more popular candidates in the group.

2. Contesting in an SMC allows for greater individual accountability.

3. By allowing unpopular politicians to run in SMCs, the electoral landscape remains diverse, offering voters a range of options without risking the stability of a GRC.

4. By running in SMCs, politicians can avoid harming the collective electoral chances of their party.

Please do not use other party members as your lifeline. Think of country other than self !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.; March 17, 2025 9:20 AM

Their motivations can be disillusionment with the current government, a desire for more representation of their concerns, or a push for reforms.

In recent years, we've seen various forms of "rebel voting," whether through supporting third-party candidates, participating in grassroots movements, or an increase in spoilt votes? This trend reflects a growing frustration with conventional politics .

Many parties are driven by strong ideological beliefs and want to promote their values and policies, regardless of their unpopularity. For some, unpopular parties, participating in elections serves as a means of expressing dissent against the dominant parties, providing voters with an alternative choice, however small.

Overall, even if a party is unpopular, its participation can significantly affect the political landscape. They don't realise what is involved in being an MP!; March 22, 2025 5:34 PM

However such stratagies can also backfire if voters percieve them as superficial and manipulative. While goodies can attract some voters, only on short term, long term voter is built on trust, policies and candidate credibility?; March 25, 2025 8:44 PM

Achieving different results means changing people or doing things differently, which implies that you cannot repeatedly use the same approach or method. Each time you change or introduce a new element, you open the door to diverse outcomes, different from the last. Smart move.; April 13, 2025 2:12 PM
