Describe the importance of political parties in a Democratic Government.
Answer
Importance of Political Parties:
Modern democracies cannot exist without political parties.
Political parties perform various functions. Every candidate in the elections will be independent so no one will be able to make any promises to the people about any major policy changes. The government may be formed, but its utility will remain ever uncertain. Elected representatives will be accountable to their constituency for what they do in the locality.
The rise of political parties is directly linked to the emergence of representative democracies.
