The term 'political homelessness' in electoral politics refers to the condition where individuals feel disconnected from existing political parties or ideologies. This can arise due to perceived inadequacies in party platforms, disillusionment with political processes, or the rise of new, unaligned movements. Political homelessness often results in decreased voter turnout, as individuals may choose not to participate in elections when they feel no party represents their views. This phenomenon can lead to the emergence of independent candidates and alternative political movements that seek to address the needs of those who feel abandoned by traditional political structures.
