What impact would lack of power sharing have on the country
Answers
Power sharing is the characteristic of good governance. Sharing of power helps in well functioning of democracy.
a. Lack of Power Sharing increases the chances of confliction and creates instability in the nation, as every community do not get treated equally, this establishes a feeling of resentment.
b. Lack of power-sharing reduces the efficiency of the government, as there are no checks and balances. The accountability of the authority gets reduced.
c. Lack of Power Sharing affects the right of people to get consulted by the authority.
Example: When Sri Lanka recognized Sinhala as the only official language it disregarded Tamils. They felt that they were denied equality. As a result, the relationship between the Sinhala and the Tamils strained and the Sri Lankan Tamils launched movements against the government. This distrust took the shape of Civil war, thousands of people were killed.
Hope this helps
