Question

define de—merits of democracy.

Answer 1

demerits of democracy :
the decision taken through democracy is very time consuming as its follows some laws and procedures.

Democracy is Impracticable

The reason for this is that common man is neither wise nor intelligent nor rational but democracy believes in these things. Besides politics is something highly technical and complex. A common man cannot understand the big and complicated issues of politics. Moreover the elections are also a force in which common people are not in a position to judge the candidate on merit. Even otherwise people are very little interest in politics. This is the reason that democracy cannot function.
Rule of Ignorance                             

Normally great majorities of people particularly in 3rd world countries are uneducated and illiterate. They do not understand political, economic and international issues. Moreover they can be very easily influenced by cunning politicians. As a result of this they elect ignorant people who instead of solving their problems create more problems for the society. Pakistan is the best example of this. One writer has gone to the extent of saying that democracy is the government of cattle by the cattle and for the cattle.
