Question

In which way is the quality of decision making improved in democracy?

Answer 1

Democracy leads to better decisions than any other non-democratic government.

It is based on consultation and discussion. A democratic decision involves many persons, discussions and meetings. When a number of people put their heads together, they are able to point out possible mistakes in any decision.

This takes time. But there is a big advantage in taking time over important decisions. This reduces the chances of rash or irresponsible decisions. Thus, democracy improves the quality of decision-making.
