As the name suggests the term politicophobia is used to describe a person who has a genuine fear of politicians and the political system. Some people may think this is something of a made up condition but think about this. While many of may live in the democratic western world, what about the fear which politics brings to countries which have not yet embraced democracy - remember the Arab Spring and the violence that followed?
Lets not forget the fact that while many of us have a deep distrust of politicians, some people can find them intimidating and frightening. Does this perhaps explain why the percentage of adults who actually vote tends to be extremely low?
