QUESTION NO 2

What are the various challenges faced by political parties?

ANSWER

The political parties face the following challenges--

1. Lack of Internal democracy within parties-

 There is a tendency in political parties towards concentration of power in one or a few  leaders at the top. Parties do not keep membership register, do not hold organisational meetings and conduct internal election regularly. Ordinary members do not get sufficient information on what happens inside the party. Leaders make maximum decisions in the name of party.

2.  Dynastic Succession ;

Most political parties do not practice open and transparent procedures for their functioning, there are very few ways for an ordinary worker to rise to the top in a party. In many parties top positions are always controlled by the members of one family. This is unfair to other member and not good for democracy.

3. Growing Role of Money and Muscle Power :

 Since parties are focused only on winning elections, they tend to use short cuts to win elections. They tend to nominate those candidates who have or can raise lots of money. Reach people and companies who give funds to the parties tend to have influence on the policies and decisions of the Party. In some cases, party support criminals who can win elections.

4. Parties do not offer a Meaningful Choice to the Voters :

In the recent years there has been a decline in the ideological differences among parties in most parts of the world. So people have no choices. Sometimes people cannot even elect very different leaders either, because the same set of leaders keep shifting from one party to another.

2  It should be made mandatory for political parties to give a minimum number of tickets, about one-third ,to women candidates. Similarly there should be a quota for women in the decision making bodies of the party. 

3  There should be state funding of election. The government should give parties money to support their election expenses. This support could be given in kind like petrol,  paper telephone etc. Or it could be given in cash on the basis of the votes secured by the party in the last election.
