I like the game, its very fun and intuitive. However, I believe that if you lose a election the ai should take over for a term and manage things, during this period of time you would be able to campaign and do all that jazz. once the term is over you would be able to run again and if you won go back to the normal game and you would be able to fix/change what has been done by the ai.

Just for the record, I am political independent. I vote the ones I think will benefit the country I live the most. Voted left and voted right. Played several scenarios in this game and if you are Socialist, this game is for you. Also, Liberals can win here, but if you are Conservative or Right wing, don't bother to buy the game. Extremely difficult to implement something in your way. e.g. Poland should be more Conservative and I couldn't win there with Conservative views, but could win there with Socialist views. Tried several countries and same result. Probably I am not good being right wing :-D The game need some more development, it's pretty basic. Some more graphic stuff also, but it's a nice game to spend some free time, if you can't use the PC to more sophisticated games.

Democracy 4 may look like a simple collection of buttons, charts, and sliders, but the game offers a surprisingly accurate representation of the intricate web of policies, economic factors and voter dynamics that shape a nation. While it's possible to focus solely on re-election, the game truly shines when you roleplay as a leader with a vision and long-term goals. That said, the game could benefit from some additional features to encourage more strategic thinking. For instance, a global leaderboard comparing countries on metrics like GDP or standard of living (like in Victoria 3) could provide players with concrete long-term objectives beyond just winning the next election. Incorporating such features would significantly enhance the game's longevity, which currently feels somewhat limited.

I had refunded the game when it first came out because it was pretty much identical to democracy 3. In fact they had actually removed D3 features and policies no doubt to resell them as future DLCs. So why did I buy it again? and why am I recommending it. Well despite the vendor trying their best to rip everyone off. The modders fixed it for them and made it worth playing. I highly recommend the D4 overhaul and expansion mod. Zero credit to Positech Games who are hopeless...

Accurate simulation: You can remove all the policies people don't like and enact all the policies they support to guarantee reelection. In the process you'll crash the economy, destroy the GDP, spike unemployment, cause widespread food shortages (silver lining, no more obesity!), and drive the country even further into a massive debt hole. But who cares? The people love you!
