why do we consider China and Mexico as non democratic countries
Answers
In China, elections are regularly held after every 5 years. But only the members of the Chinese Communist party are allowed to contest. The government is always formed by the Communist Party. Hence the people of China have no serious say in the election; they are bound to choose the leader of the ruling party. The above facts show that the government is not elected directly by the people and there are restrictions in contesting of the election. Hence this makes China as a nondemocratic country.
Mexico is an American country, that got independence in 1930, and since then it holds an election every six years.
The election held after every six years was won by a party called Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) for every term till 200.
Though opposition parties would contest but could never win.
The election was not held in a transparent manner, many illegal practices were followed. The government employees would attend the party meetings; the media would focus only upon PRI’s activities, the teachers would force the parents to vote for only PRI, the polling booth was mismanaged, sometimes the booth was captured or transferred to another in the last minute.
