Rethinking the Purpose of Elections
Conventional theories of elections hold that an election is analogous to a        consumer product market. This analogy underlies decades of electoral theory, but in        Hiring and Firing Public Officials, Justin Buchler contends that it does not capture        the real nature of elections. As Buchler shows, an election is a mechanism by which        voters hire and fire public officials. Thus, the health of democracy depends not on        regular competitive elections, but on posing a credible threat to fire public        officials who do not perform their jobs well. However, the purpose of that threat is        to force public officials to act as faithful public servants so that they do not        have to be fired. Thus, competitive elections, by most definitions, are indicative        of a failure of the democratic system.
