The implications of hyper-partisanship in governance are detrimental to effective policymaking and social cohesion. Increased polarization can lead to legislative gridlock, where collaborative efforts are stymied by ideological divides. This environment erodes public trust in institutions and hinders the ability to address pressing issues. Hyper-partisanship often results in a reduced willingness to compromise, which can undermine the foundations of democracy and lead to a fragmented public sphere.
