One of the most important changes in political communication is related to the process of disintermediation, i.e. the process by which digital technologies allow citizens to compete in the public space with those agents who, traditionally, co-opted public opinion. However, while disintermediation has undeniably generated a number of advances, having linked citizens to the public debate, the authors highlight some aspects where disintermediation is moving away from a rational and inclusive public space. They argue that these aspects, related to the immediacy, polarization and incivility of the communication, obscure the possibilities for democratization of digital political communication.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eJosé Manuel Robles-Morales\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer at the Sociology III Department at Complutense University, Spain.
