Interpersonal relationships in politics significantly affect decision-making by facilitating collaboration or hindering it. Strong connections among politicians, whether through friendships, collaboration, or political alliances, can lead to more effective negotiations and consensus-building. Conversely, personal conflicts or tensions can create gridlock, where important legislation stalls. These relationships influence how policies are framed and discussed, as politicians may prioritize the interests of their network over broader legislative goals. The interpersonal dynamics in political settings, therefore, play a crucial role in determining both the process and outcomes of governance.
