Lack of internal democracy within parties is the major challenge to political parties all over the world. Analyse the statement.
Parties do not keep membership registers, do not hold organisation meetings, and do not conduct internal elections regularly. Ordinary members of the party do not get sufficient information on what happens inside the party. As a result the leaders assume greater power to make decisions in the name of the party.
