About this Model

This simulation demonstrates the complex adaptive nature of the Bangladeshi political landscape. Unlike traditional linear models, it treats political parties as dynamic attractors and voters as responsive agents subject to bounded rationality and affective polarization.

Key Dynamics:

• Dubious Ideologies: Parties are not static; they shift positions based on opportunism ("Party Opportunism" parameter), often forming unlikely coalitions that confuse the electorate.
• Affective Polarization: Agents do not just seek their ideological home; they actively repel from opposing extremes, creating a "hollow center."
• Institutional Decay: As polarization increases, the system tracks the erosion of Judicial Independence and legislative gridlock, mirroring real-world governance challenges.
