Power Sharing or distribution of power is desirable for a nation because arranging or distributing the powers among social or religious groups reduces the occurrence of conflict in the nation. By sharing power, a nation ensures that stability and political order is maintained. This is prudential as it states that by sharing power there is the possibility of better outcomes.

Power sharing is important also because, in a democracy the people have the right to be consulted about the governance, so this right is established by power sharing. This is a moral reason as it states the values of power sharing.
