Question

What is the most important function of a political party?

• A. Criticise the government.
• B. Putting forward policies and programmes.
• C. To contest elections and form the government.
• D. Welfare Schemes.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Putting forward policies and programmes.

Parties put forward different policies and programs and the voters choose from them. Each of us may have different opinions and views on what policies are suitable for society. But no government can handle such a large variety of views. In a democracy, a large number of similar opinions have to be grouped to provide a direction in which policies can be formulated by the government.
