Question

Which of the following are challenges to political parties?

• A. Use of money and muscle power
• B. Dynastic Politics
• C. Fair politics
• D. Lack of internal democracy

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (D)

Lack of internal democracy

Our political parties lack internal democracy. Familial ties are given preference over the ability to function in a democratic system. It would deny opportunities to common party workers, and the people who have no experience or popular support occupy positions of power. Apart from the rule of powerful political families, parties also suffer due to rich people's rule. Rich people and companies pay the parties huge amounts of money to influence the government's policies and decisions.
