Elections to effect a change in government is kind of like a civil war. A bloodless struggle.
If it were a real war, one side would be well organized with one commander and generals who followed orders and inspired loyalty in the troops.
The other side, would have several commanders, giving conflicting orders. They would be disorganized with no loyalty to the goal of victory but following each of the conflicted commanders. Generals are non existent because each commander rules only a very small force.
We all know which side is going to win. That side will use it's overwhelming force to oppress and enslave each of the splintered factions in turn.
