Political parties are the necessary condition for a democracy:
(i) Without political parties, democracies cannot exist.
(ii) If we do not have political parties—in such a situation every candidate in elections will be independent.
(iii) No one will be able to make any promises to the people about any major policy changes.
(iv) The government may be formed but its utility will remain uncertain.
(v) Elected representatives will be accountable to their constituencies for what they do in their localities.
(vi) But no one will be responsible for a law the country will run.
(vii) The role of an opposition party in a democracy necessitates the existence of political parties.
(viii) As societies become large and complex they also need some agencies to gather different views on various issues and to present these to the government, that is why political parties are needed. The problem of bad politics can be solved by more and more better politics.
