Social inequality severely impacts political participation, as disadvantaged groups often lack the resources and opportunities to engage effectively in politics. Factors like income disparity, educational barriers, and systemic discrimination hinder participation rates among marginalized communities. Consequently, this can lead to underrepresentation in government and policy decisions, perpetuating cycles of inequality. The lack of engagement from these groups limits the diversity of perspectives in political discourse and can diminish the perceived legitimacy of democratic processes. Addressing these disparities is crucial for fostering equitable political participation.
