Answer:
There
is no denying fact that democracy is better than any other form of government.
It gives equal rights and freedom to every individual.
But it has also some demerits.
Following are the demerits of democracy
(i) Unstable Government Lots of
political parties are allowed to criticise the government and its policies.
Sometimes, it leads to the downfall of the ruling party and re-elections in the
country. This gives instability to the government.
(ii) Slow and Inefficient Government The most common demerit of democracy
is that it is slow in its functioning. The decision-making
process involves long debates and deliberations in
the Parliament. This takes a lot of time before the decisions are actually taken.
(iii) Incompetence Democracy gives every individual
the right to voice his concern. As a result, everybody focusses on his personal
interests and not the collective interests. This sometimes leads to incompetent
and wrong selections of the candidates in the government.
(iv) Role of Money in a Democracy Money plays an important
role at the time of the elections.
A lot of money is needed to organize demonstrations,
public meetings and speeches.
Those candidates are chosen in the elections, who can
raise lot of money for the party.
