Misinformation affects political decision-making by distorting public perception and influencing the actions of both citizens and policymakers. When false or misleading information spreads, it can skew opinions, undermine trust in institutions, and create division among the electorate. Politicians and parties may exploit misinformation to manipulate narratives, sway public support, or justify controversial actions. This phenomenon reduces the quality of democratic discourse, making it difficult for citizens to make informed decisions. Combatting misinformation is thus essential for promoting a well-informed electorate and ensuring that political decisions reflect genuine public interests and concerns.
