Question

One of the challengee that prevails within political parties is __________.

• A. Excessive transparency
• B. Decentralization
• C. Lack of internal democracy
• D. Rules and regulations

Answer 1

The correct option is C Lack of internal democracy

One of the challenges that prevail within political parties is the lack of internal democracy. All over the world, there is a tendency in political parties towards the concentration of power in one or a few leaders at the top. Parties do not keep membership registers, do not hold organizational meetings, and do not conduct internal elections regularly. Ordinary members of the party do not get sufficient information on what happens inside the party. They do not have the means or the connections needed to influence the decisions. As a result, the leaders assume greater power to make decisions in the name of the party.
