Question

Why are there no political parties in Saudi Arabia?

• A. The people hate political parties.
• B. There is an aversion towards democracy.
• C. The law forbids the formation of political parties.
• D. People lack interest in politics.

Answer 1

The correct option is C The law forbids the formation of political parties.

The concept of political parties does not yet exist in Saudi Arabia; its law forbids the formation of political organisations. The absence of democracy has denied the citizens of the kingdom the opportunity to elect a new ruler.
