Social and economic inequalities among the citizens a challenge to the successful working of democracy in a country
Explanation:
- Amongst the people there are multiple socio-economic disparities. While every person has the right to vote and to participate in elections, only the rich people have a preference.
- Highly economically disparate democracy is unsustainable, as democratic processes cannot operate effectively in a society that is fundamentally divided between income & wealth, particularly if little is done about fixing or alleviating the situation.
- Inequity increases political friction disturbs national harmony and reduces faith and government funding. Economic inequality also has repercussions for the vital institutional legitimacy of civic-based ideals such as confidence. The belief that rich plutocrats have a status quo is made worse by the development of disparities.
- There is a small "substantive liberty" or the possibility of the weak to fulfil their goals and expectations. Some of them who are more influential form policy and laws for their own benefit and not simply for a progressive change. Poor people wouldn't have the same economic and cultural impact as wealthy people would because the wealthy have much greater power.
- Substantive democracy is necessary for active participation by citizens, who are usually the highest in the "middle class." — The middle class has been pushed back by income inequalities, decreased civic participation, and increased 'democratic deficit.'
