CHALLENGES TO POLITICAL
PARTIES-7
Dynastic Succesion
-
-
This is also bad for democracy, since people who do not have adequate experience or popular support, come to occupy position of power.
This tendency is present in all over the world, including some older democracies.
Money and muscle Power
-
Since parties are focussed only on winning elections, they tend to use shortcut to win elections.
Such shortcuts include the following:
- They tend to nominate those candidate who have or can raise lots of mone. Rich people and companies who give funds to the parties tend to have influence on the policies and decision of the party.
- In some case, parties support criminal who can win elections.
Lack of Meaningful choice to the voter
-
In order to offer meaningful choice, parties must be significantly different.
For Example: In india, the differences among all major parties on the economic policies have reduced. Those who want really different policies have no option available to them. Sometimes people cannot even elect very different leaders as the same set of leaders keep shifting from one party to another.
-
Lack Of Internal
Democracy
-
Parties do not keep membership registers, do not hold organisational meetings and do not conduct internal election regularly
Ordianary member of the party do not get sufficient information about the happenings inside the party.
