Question

Can we have democracy without holding elections ?

Answer 1

yet there is democracy without holding election

Answer 2

Yes, we can have democracy without holding elections but for that, there has to be unity among different castes, creeds and gender.

• Voting doesn't, to put it simply, function very well to encourage significant challenges to dominant power arrangements.
• The core issue is fairly straightforward. Regardless of the choices of the electorate, an elected representative is not in any way strongly bound to any particular policies.
• At election time, a politician is most susceptible to influence. Once elected, a representative is no longer subject to recall (it is almost difficult until the next election), but they are still open to pressure from strong interest groups, particularly businesses, state agencies, and political party insiders.
• We all have examples of politicians who "sold out," reneging on their solemn commitments and abandoning their professed values. Ironically, this is true for both left- and right-wingers.
