Question

"Modern democracies cannot exist without political parties." Examine the statement. 

Answer 1

Modern democracies cannot exist without political parties. It is because:

# Without the political parties, every candidate contesting in the elections will be independent. So no one will be able to make any promises to the people about any major policy changes.

# The government may be formed but it would not be stable.

# Elected representative will be accountable to their constituency for what they do in the locality. But no one will be responsible for how the country run.
