Political Polarization: its impacts on governance and society
Political polarization is the us versus them divide among members of a nation, based on extreme political negativity. This erodes the national glory, prestige, and stability necessary for institutions to perform optimally and dispense services to the masses. Unfortunately, Pakistan is among the countries that are highly polarized on the political front. This divisive politics not only negatively affects governance but also contributes to society's ills in a number of ways. Its impacts on governance include poor policy ex*****on, a minimal will to contain corruption, and the use of bureaucracy for political gains. Besides these, political polarization also affects institutional hierarchies, the dispensation of justice, and the ability to check governing institutions, which are left uncontrolled due to pressure from either side of the government. Its effects on the social front are numerous, leading to a higher degree of intolerance, a poor capacity for acceptance, and virtually no respectful dissent. Society also reflects deep-seated ethnolinguistic divisions, a fast-track movement toward national disintegration, and an erosion of civic and democratic values among people, all due to systemic polarisation. Ultimately, political polarization hinders the performance of both governing bodies and society as a whole.
