The party gets absolute majority, coalition governments are formed.
The coalition of political parties with a view of sharing power is only a marriage of convenience. }
}
The coalition is lost and governments crumble down.
}
The stable governments under democracy generally don’t exist.
Democracy is criticized because it establishes dictatorship of majority.
The majority is required to safeguard the interests of minority but in actual practice it does not. Majority after gaining success at the polls forms its ministry and conducts the affairs of the state by its own sweet will.
It ignores the minority altogether; the minority is oppressed.
Ă’
Political parties are the basis of democracy.
Ă’
A political party aims at capturing power.
Ă’
Its members are to safeguard the interests of the party. Sometimes, they overlook the overall interest of the state for the sake of their party.
