Political commitment is becoming contingent rather than stable across democracies — from the US and UK to Senegal, the Philippines, Colombia and beyond. Voters exhibit rapid realignment cycles driven by unmet expectations, perceived betrayals, and the churn of digital discourse — fervent support quickly giving way to disillusionment and a search for alternatives. This reflects a broader cultural shift where electoral loyalty is no longer inherited or durable but transactional, accelerated by information velocity and the normalisation of frequent leadership turnover.
