Arguments against democracy
This conversation has most of the arguments that we routinely hear against
democracy. Let us go over some of these arguments:
• Leaders keep changing in a democracy. This leads to instability.
• Democracy is all about political competition and power play. There is no
scope for morality.
• So many people have to be consulted in a democracy that it leads to delays.
• Elected leaders do not know the best interest of the people. It leads to bad
decisions.
• Democracy leads to corruption for it is based on electoral competition.
• Ordinary people don’t know what is good for them; they should not decide
anything.
Clearly, democracy is not a magical solution for all the problems. It has not ended
poverty in our country and in other parts of the world. Democracy as a form of
government only ensures that people take their own decisions. This does not
guarantee that their decisions will be good. People can make mistakes. Involving
the people in these decisions does lead to delays in decision making. It is also true
that democracy leads to frequent changes in leadership. Sometimes this can set
back big decisions and affect the government’s efficiency.
These arguments show that democracy of the kind we see may not be the ideal
form of government. But that is not a question we face in real life.
