👉 Counterconquest is a legal theory that suggests that when one party wins an election or other form of democratic process, they should not be allowed to establish a new government. The idea is that if a new government is established by another party after winning the election, it will likely be more stable and less oppressive than the old one. In essence, counterconquest theory suggests that parties are entitled to their own power and that the democratic process itself should not be used as an opportunity for power grabs.
