Introduction to Why Politicians Are Kicked Out

I’ve noticed a trend that repeats itself year after year – a pattern that, when disrupted, results in societal dissatisfaction and increasing chaos. Today, I want to unravel this phenomenon for you in relation to politics and economies worldwide.

The Phenomenon

This pattern manifested during my tenure as a manager at Bell Northern Research in the 1980s. Annually, every manager would propose for an increase in the headcount by 10% in their department. This similarity of pattern occurred regardless of the project’s development stage. If this increment was not met, the managers felt as if they were on the decline and primarily used it as a metric to measure their success.

The same pattern is noticed in societies worldwide, where, amid inflation, people require their incomes to increase yearly. Consequently, this causes dissatisfaction and fragmentation, leading to social turmoil. The examples of France, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada are cases in point.

Case Examples

The French population expressed their dissatisfaction in widespread protests due to economic predicaments. The British electorate threw out the Conservative Party due to mishandling the economy, cutting back on National Health Services, and ineffective immigration control. In Canada, discontent is palpable on economic management, and even within the United States, the call for President Biden to step down is linked heavily to the economy. Germany and Japan are no exceptions.

The repeated cases of political turnovers are far from coincidental. In my perspective, economic weakness brings about discontentment. Politicians often maintain that the economy is excellent, but the population interprets it differently based on deteriorating living conditions and heightened unemployment rates.

Concluding Remarks

There are instances when nothing changes over decades, and suddenly, a significant shift occurs in a short period, such as the fall of the Iron Curtain in the 1980s. I believe we are now at one of these global inflection points expecting considerable political turmoil worldwide, particularly in Western developed economies.

The underlying issue is the economy, regardless of how many times politicians tell you that the economy is great. Real household disposable income is decreasing, and the unemployment rate is growing. These societal and economic disruptions echo the question: “Why Politicians Are Kicked Out?”
