Social and democratic state of law, political representation and immediate re-election in Colombia: its effects on electoral behavio

Abstract

The social and democratic state of law, is rep- resentative, combined with forms of direct de- mocracy, so that the electoral system is essen- tial to ensure plural and democratic political representation of political parties and move- ments piece. Not surprisingly, the social and democratic rule of law is the rule of political parties. Political participation is recognized as a fundamental right, therefore, any system of a republic deemed of this nature, have to be orga- nized to ensure the political participation of all people in Material conditions of equality. The electoral system in a democratic republic, also falls in favor or against the policy is exercised equal or not the participants, particularly in the electoral arena is the natural setting of po- litical activity. In this regard, this work reflects on the impact of electoral behavior of citizens in Colombia, as a result of the implementation of immediate presidential reelection. This re- flection seeks, provide reasonable points of view from the Political Science to optimize the Colombian electoral system so as to contribute positively to the improvement of the electoral behavior of citizens form. Thus, the elimina- tion of immediate presidential reelection for his undemocratic aims and that does not guar- antee the right to political participation. In the same direction, I postulate that regionalization and reform the electoral system, the electoral behavior of citizens have a voice in conditions of real freedom and in an environment of plu- ralism and democracy.
