Social class significantly affects political participation, often leading to disparities in involvement and representation. Individuals from higher social classes typically have greater access to resources, including education and networks, which facilitate political engagement. They are more likely to vote, participate in campaigns, and hold political office. Conversely, individuals from lower social classes may face obstacles such as economic instability, which can lead to political disengagement. This class divide can create a feedback loop, perpetuating inequalities in policy outcomes and representation, as the interests of lower classes may be less prioritized.
