Why are there more than one party in a democracy?
- A because this represents the different opinions of the citizens ✓ Correct answer
- B to limit bribery in politics
- C to prevent political demonstrations
- D to stimulate economic competition
Explanation
A democracy has more than one party so that the different opinions and interests of citizens can be represented in parliament. Fighting corruption, preventing protests, or boosting the economy are not the reasons for having multiple parties.
Tips
- More parties mean more room for different views and voter choice.
- Corruption, protests, and the economy are unrelated to why parties exist.
