what are the challenges faced by the political parties ? what are your suggestions for its reformation ?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
i) There is lack of internal democracy within parties. There is generally concentration of powers in one or few leaders at the top. Parties do not keep membership registers, do not keep hold organisational meeting, and do not conduct internal elections regularly.
(ii) Dynastic succession does not allow ordinary workers to rise to the top in the party. Where top positions are controlled by the members of one family, it is bad for democracy since people who do not have adequate experience or popular support come to occupy positions of power.
(iii)The growing role of money and muscle power in parties pose another challenge, specially during the time of elections. Rich people and companies who give funds to the parties tend to have influence on the policies and decisions of the party.(iv)Parties, very often, do not offer a meaningful choice to the voters. In recent years, there has been a decline in the ideological differences among parties. Those who want really different policies have no option available to them.
