Hints

Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.

Hint 1

Think about how parties are run inside.

Hint 2

Consider who gets the top posts and tickets.

Step-by-step solution

Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.

  1. Lack of internal democracy: power is concentrated in one or a few leaders, parties do not hold open elections or keep membership registers, and ordinary members have little say.

    1 mark

  2. Dynastic succession: top posts often go to family members, so capable ordinary workers are denied opportunities and democracy is weakened.

    1 mark

  3. Role of money and muscle power: parties field rich candidates and criminals who can win, which favours the wealthy. Also, there is often no meaningful choice, as parties look alike in policies.

    1 mark

Answer: Challenges: lack of internal democracy, dynastic succession, money and muscle power, lack of meaningful choice.
