Question

What are the possible disadvantages if the government chooses to fund elections in India?

• A. It will be hard to track money spent by political parties.
• B. Increase dependancy of parties on rich people.
• C. It will be easy to track money spent by political parties.
• D. Maynot be the best way to spend government funds.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Maynot be the best way to spend government funds.

Government funding election expenses to some extent would prevent parties from depending on rich people. But this idea has some disadvantages. One, it is hard to track money spent by political parties, and two, we don’t know if this is the best way to spend government’s money. India is still a poor nation, and we need funds to solve many problems.
