One consequence of the incumbency advantage is the fact that it reduces majoritarian democracy.

disadvantages
Incumbency refers to the state of being the current office holder, as opposed to a political challenger. For example, in the U.S. Presidential race of 2012, Barack Obama was the "incumbent"--the person holding the office of the President--and was running against Mitt Romney, the Republican challenger. However, incumbency can also refer to an obligation or duty. An example of this usage would be a statement such as, "it is incumbent upon you to pay the taxes you owe" or "the need to pay taxes has become an incumbency".
some disadvantages are collaborative working and money.
