Political Parties
In a situation where we do not have political parties, every candidate in the elections will be independent. So no one will be able able to make any promises to the people about any major policy changes.
The goverment may be formed but its utility wii remain ever uncertain. Elected representatives will be accountable to their constituency for what they do in the locality. Hence, no one will be responsive how the country will be run.
