Political neglect in governance results in significant consequences, including widening socioeconomic disparities and public disillusionment. When governments fail to address critical issues such as healthcare, education, or economic stability, it can lead to feelings of alienation among citizens. This neglect fosters mistrust in political institutions and can spark civil unrest or calls for reform. Over time, persistent neglect erodes the foundational principles of democracy and can result in the rise of populism, where leaders capitalize on public frustration to gain power, often circumventing traditional democratic norms.
