Read the given extract and answer the questions that the follows, In some countries, power usually changes between two main parties. Several other parties, may exist, contest elections and win a few seats in the National legislatures. But only the, main parties have a serious chance of winning majority of seats to form government. Such a, party system is called two party system. The United States of America and the United, Kingdom are examples of two-party system. If several parties compete for power, and more, than two parties have a reasonable chance of coming to power either on their own strength or, in alliance with others, we call it a multi party system. Thus, in India, we have a multi party, system. In this system, the government is formed by various parties coming together in a, coalition. When several parties in a multi-party system join hands for the purpose of, contesting elections and winning power, it is called an alliance or a front. For example, in, India there were three such major alliances in 2004 parliamentary elections the National, Democratic Alliance, the United Progressive Alliance and the Left Front. The multi party, system often appears very messy and leads to political instability.

PASSAGE BASED QUESTIONS, Expectations from democracy also function as the criteria for judging any democratic, country. What is most distinctive about democracy is that its examination never gets over. As, democracy passes one test, it produces another test. As people get some benefits of, democracy, they ask for more and want to make democracy even better. That is why, when, we ask people about the way democracy functions, they will always come up with more, expectations, and many complaints. The fact that people are complaining is itself a testimony, to the success of democracy: it shows that people have developed awareness and the ability to, expect and to look critically at power holders and the high and the mighty. A public, expression of dissatisfaction with democracy shows the success of the democratic project: it, transforms people from the status of a subject into that of a citizen. Most individuals today, believe that their vote makes a difference to the way the government is run and to their own, self-interest., 46. Which one of the following is right about democracy?, (a). People can show their dissatisfaction with the government., (b). Democracy does not promote transparency., (c). Democracy promotes few families only., (d) Democracy does not make a country strong, 47. Individuals in Democracy shows their participation in Democracy through :, (a) By voting in the process of formation of government, (b) By showing a public expression of dissatisfaction., (c) Both of above, (d) None of Above., Perhaps more than development, it is reasonable to expect democracies to reduce economic, disparities. Even when a country achieves economic growth, will wealth be distributed in, such a way that all citizens of the country will have a share and lead a better life? Is economic, growth in democracies accompanied by increased inequalities among the people? Or do, democracies lead to a just distribution of goods and opportunities? Democracies are based on, political equality. All individuals have equal weight in electing representatives. Parallel to the, process of bringing individuals into the political arena on an equal footing, we find growing, economic inequalities. A small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of, wealth and incomes. Not only that, their share in the total income of the country has been, increasing. Those at the bottom of the society have very little to depend upon. Their incomes, have been declining. Sometimes they find it difficult to meet their basic needs of life, such as, food, clothing, house, education and health. In actual life, democracies do not appear to be, very successful in reducing economic inequalities. In Class IX Economics textbook, you have, already studied about poverty in India. The poor constitute a large proportion of our voters, and no party will like to lose their votes. Yet democratically elected governments do not, appear to be as keen to address the question of poverty as you would expect them to. The, situation is much worse in some other countries. In Bangladesh, more than half of its, population lives in poverty. People in several poor countries are now dependent on the rich, countries even for food supplies., , 49
