उत्तर
Political parties are a necessary condition for a democracy because of the following reasons:
- When societies develop, expand and become more complex in terms of social, economic and political relations, they need political parties to sustain governance.
- Political parties tend to provide the base on which the praxis of government is built.
- Political parties gather public views on various important issues, articulate them and then present them to the government, which is what democracy is.
- Parties bring various representatives together, support or restrain government and its apparatus, develop policies, justify or oppose them in the public domain depending on their political ideology.
- Finally, parties which fail to form the government form the opposition and monitor the actions of the ruling party, thereby preventing the misuse or abuse of limits imposed by the Constitution.
