‘It is very difficult to reform politics through legal ways’ some reasons are as follows:  (i) Well devised changes in laws help in discouraging wrongdoing in politics and encouraging good ones. (ii) Legal constitutional changes by themselves cannot overcome Democratic challenges.For e.g The change in rules for LBW decision in cricket help to reduce negative batting techniques but one must think how the quality of the cricket can be improved by implementing these laws.Just by changing the rules in cricket can't improve the quality of the game. This is to be done by the players, coaches and administrators.
(iii) Likewise,Democratic reforms are to be carried out especially by political activists, political parties, movements groups and politically conscious citizens.
(iv)Laws which are implemented without knowing its outcome are not very successful in any Sphere.For e.g .Suppose a state government has banned those people who have more than 2 children to take part in Panchayat elections. This type of law is the violation of democratic rights and therefore is not acceptable by the people.
(v) The best laws are those which empower/encourage people to carry out democratic reforms.


In today's modern age of democracy political parties required reformation. Many challenges such as dynastic succession, lack of internal democracy, lack of meaningful choice, increasing role of money and muscle power are faced by the political parties.
Some of the reforms required by the political party are as follows:
a)These days no one can change his/ her party after Anti Defection law was passed in the Parliament. Amendment was made in the constitution to prevent MPs and MLAs from changing parties. If anyone tries to change his/ her party, he /she loses his /her seat.
b) Supreme Court has helped in reducing the influence of criminals and money in elections. It is now mandatory for every person contesting the election to give an affidavit regarding his wealth and criminal cases pending against him. With this people can acquire information about the leaders and this has also led to decline in criminalisation of politics.
c) Election Commission has also ordered all political parties to hold their organisation elections and file the income tax returns for the purpose of introducing internal democracy. Parties have started to do so formally.
d) Regulating internal affairs in the party should be made compulsory. Registers of the existing members should be made. All parties should follow their constitution and regular elections should be held for the highest post of the party.
e) Parties should be asked to reserve at least one third of the seats for women candidates. In the same way women should have their share in the party's decision making bodies so that steps can be taken for the betterment of women.
f) State should provide funds for contesting elections. It can be either given in the form of cash or in the form of petrol, paper, telephone. This may reduce the influence of money in the elections.
