Question

"It is very difficult to reform politics through legal ways." Evaluate the statement.

Answer 1

1) To reform politics the will of the people in the politics plays an important role. The politicians often want to maintain status quo and hence legislations to reform politics are seldom brought up or even if they are brought up they don't garner enough support in the Parliament for it to become a law.

2) Such reforms if passed by the parliament are often not fully implemented in principle and spirit and thus beat the very purpose of the law.

3) Awareness of the people about their rights play an important role in the process of political reformation. Awareness can help the people to fight for the reforms and force the government to bring about legal reforms.

4) Political reforms if brought about by a legislation have to face the inefficiencies of the process of making a legislation. This can delay the process of the reformation.

5) For these reasons, it is difficult to reform politics through legal ways. This can however be done by sensitizing the people about their rights as well as electing the right representatives who can enforce the political changes for the greater public good.
