Answers
Power sharing leads to better outcomes mainly because of two reasons:
(a) Prudential reasons
(b) Moral reasons
a) Prudential reasons:
1. The first prudential reason is that power sharing decreases the chance of creating any social conflict.
2. Power sharing is the best to ensure stability of political order as it reduces social conflict which is the reason for creating violence and political instability.
3. For a short run, the domination of majority over minority seems to be attractive but in the long run, it would undermine the nation's unity and strength.
(b) Moral reasons:
1. Power sharing is considered as the very spirit of democracy.
2. A democratic rule includes the sharing of power with those who have to exercise the powers and with those who have to live with those effects. This is because people have to right to know how they will governed and they should be consulted.
3. A legitimate government is that government where the citizens get a place in the system of power sharing via participation.
