Suggest some reforms to strengthen parties so that they can perform their functions well?
Some of the reforms to strengthen parties are as follows:- a) A law should be made to regulate the internal affairs of political parties. It should be made compulsory for political parties to maintain a register of its members, to follow its own constitution, to have an independent authority, to act as a judge in case of party disputes, and to hold open elections to the highest posts. b) It should be made mandatory for political parties to give a minimum number of tickets, about one-third, to women candidates. c) There should be state funding of elections. The government should give parties money to support their election expenses. This support could be given in kind: petrol, paper, telephone etc. Or it could be given in cash on the basis of the votes secured by the party in the last election.
