## Uwemi wakuŵa na mlongozgi wasono
Kanandi munthu uyo wali pa udindo wakuŵa na mwaŵi pa visora. Mu vyaru vinyake, munthu uyo wali na mazaza ndiyo wakumanya zuŵa la mavoti, kweni para dango la boma panji dango la boma likuyowoya yayi nyengo ya mavoti.

Pa maudindo ghanandi gha ndyali, munthu uyo wali paudindo uwu wakumanyikwa chomene chifukwa cha ntchito iyo wakachitanga kale. Awo ŵakugwira nchito mu boma ŵakusangika luŵiro pa ndalama izo ŵakugwiliskira nchito pa kampeni, kweniso ndalama za boma (nga ni franking privilege) izo zingawovwira kuti awo ŵakugwira nchito mu boma ŵasangike luŵiro pa kampeni.

Kweniso, para munthu wali na mazaza gha kanyengo kacoko waka, nga ni umo viliri na pulezidenti wa ku U.S. uyo wali na mazaza gha vyaka viŵiri, ndipo wakuzomerezgeka yayi kuweleraso mu udindo.

Kweni para munthu wasankha uyo wali pa udindo, Guy Molyneux wakuti, "ntchakuwonekerathu kuti ni munthu uyo wali pa udindo". Ŵakuvota ŵazamudumbiskana dankha umo munthu uyo wali pa udindo waliri. Para ŵaghanaghana kuti "ŵafumiskengepo" uyo wali pa udindo, ndipo ŵakwamba kughanaghanira usange waliyose uyo ŵakukhumba kuti waŵe pa udindo ni munthu wakwenelera.

Kafukufuku uyo wakacitika mu 2017 mu British Journal of Political Science wakulongora kuti ŵanthu awo ŵakutemwa kuvota ŵakughanaghana kuti munthu uyo wali na maghanoghano ghakupambana na gha munyake ndiyo wali na maghanoghano ghakupambana na gha munyake. Ici cikung'anamura kuti para vinthu vyasintha pa ndyali, munthu uyo wali pa udindo wakuŵa na mwaŵi ukuru.

Vikuyowoyeka kuti ivi vikovwira kuti ŵimiliri awo ŵakwamba kuwusa ŵaŵe na mwaŵi wa kusanga ndalama zakukwana 10 peresenti, ndipo ivi vikusazgirako mwaŵi wawo.

Vinthu ivi vikucitika para uyo wali paudindo wakuwoneka kuti ngwakwenelera yayi mulimo uwo wali nawo ndipo awo ŵakukhumba kuti waŵe paudindo ŵakulongora kuti ngwakwenelera yayi mulimo uwo wali nawo. Munthu uyo wakulimbana na awo ŵakukhumba kusintha vinthu, wangapangiska kuti awo ŵakukhumba kusintha vinthu ŵakhale nyengo yitali kwambura kusintha vinthu vinyake, chifukwa chakuti awo ŵakukhumba kusintha vinthu ŵakukhorwa kuti vinthu vyasintha. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuti awo ŵali na maudindo ghapacanya ŵakusuzgika comene mwakuti ŵakuŵavya mazaza pa ndyali ndipo ŵanthu ŵakuŵagomezga yayi mwakuti ŵasozgekeso. Ŵanthu awo ŵakusuzgika chifukwa cha kusoŵa ndalama ŵakutemwa yayi kuvotera munthu uyo wali pa udindo kuluska awo ŵakusuzgika yayi.

Mu 1989, Nick Panagakis, uyo wakufufuza umo ŵanthu ŵakughanaghanira, wakalemba fundo iyo wakayichema kuti dango la awo ŵali pa udindo, yakuti munthu waliyose uyo wakuvota, usange wakughanaghana kuti watondeka kusankha, paumaliro wa mavoti wazamusankha munthu munyake uyo wakususkana nayo.
