"Shopping for Votes"

"Shopping for Votes" refers to the practice of politicians or political parties seeking to gain support from voters through various means, such as promises of beneficial policies, financial incentives, or direct appeals to specific groups. This approach often includes distributing material benefits, like gifts or services, to influence voter behavior during campaigns. While this strategy aims to attract voters, it can raise ethical concerns about fairness and integrity in the electoral process, as it may prioritize short-term gains over genuine policy discussions and democratic principles.
