1. In a democracy, political expression of social divisions is very normal and can be healty. This allows various disadvantaged and marginal social groups to express their grievances and get the govt. to attend to these.

2. Expression of various kinds of social divisions in politics, often results in their cancelling one another out and thus reducing their intensity. This leads to strengthening of a democracy.
