With the collapse of traditional parties around the world and with many pundits predicting a crisis of democracy, the value of elections as a method for selecting by whom and how we are governed is being questioned. What are the virtues and weaknesses of elections?

Whether they succeed in doing so in today's turbulent political climate remains to be seen.
