What is meant by lack of internal democracy within parties? Explain.

The political parties are the face of democracy. They are the ones who regulate the nation. So for any wrongdoing in our society, the parties are ultimately blamed. They need to face this because people have given them the power to govern them. Hence they are accountable to the people for their actions.

The political parties throughout the world face several problems, the first being the lack of internal democracy within the parties:


d. The powers of the political parties are generally held with only a few people. Not every member of the party gets the chance to be the leader.


e. The parties do not conduct regular meeting with the members to get them informed of any proceedings further. This reduces the connection with the party.


f. The leaders have the greatest powers while making any decision, the rest of the members are rarely consulted, this creates the gap in ideologies.


g. The communication gap makes the members lose their loyalty towards the party.
