Abstract
How far are citizen’s needs taken into consideration by elected representatives in the formulation of policy outcomes? Is there a link between responsive public policy and re-election of elected representatives? Data indicates that political classes no longer rely on traditional bases of support; an increasingly observable trend has been the growing obscurity of politics, polarisation, apathy and the very evident lack of demarcation among parties.
