  • BENEFITS of Representative democracy
    • PRACTICABLE DEMOCRACY
      • RD is the only form of democracy that can operate in large and modern societies.
        • This is because the people are led by an elected government, who take the decisions on behalf of them
    • GOVT BY EXPERTS
      • RD places decision making in the hands of better educated politicians who have greater expertise in their fields.
        • This enables the passing of more rational policies and decisions
    • DIVISION OF LABOUR in POLITICS
      • DD restricts the ability of people to carry out their other duties and activities.
