Does democracy create stability

Democracy creates stability by enabling everyone's voices to be heard and to take into consideration even the minorities. Hence, it restores representative parliamentary government. where the members represent the policies of the people, generating community involvement.

However there are people who dismiss democracy by saying that there are too many referenda and we will have one on every issue. Also, many people feel that there may also be voter fatique as participation is the voter's choice.

For Singapore’s government, in four or five years’ time the government will be repicked based on a election. It will be like our perfectorial speeches, colourfull and imaginative. Many candidates will think of how they can win the people's support to win that election and will come up with short term plans that are extremely appealing.

Thus, this like in the campaign speeches of the prefects, the elections will encourage meaningful and beneficial policies or propositions that will bring about short-term advantages to the public, rather than unpopular policies with longer term benefits so that the government stands a chance to win the public’s votes.

However once they are elected, they will be pressurized as they will get replaced if they do not fulfill their campaign promises and lead the country to prosperity. Hence, the government will have to visualise the future and fulfill short-term and long-term needs of the people.

I feel that Democarcy is a double edged sword, if everyone choses their votes wisely, they will have a good government and good policies. In many situations, it is due to a sudden 'dissappearance' of democracy that leads to conflict between the government and the poeple like in Korea.

The official who brought up the idea of bringing in US beef has resigned but the people are still protesting because they want a change in the government as the government did not seek the people's views on an important issue and hence needed to be changed.

From that you can see how important maintaining democracy in the country. The ideal of democracy being built on freedom of the people's choice is most crucial as it creates political stability and helps to prevent conflicts between government and citizens.

In conclusion, Democracy satisfies every part of a country' stability, in economic, political and social. The government can work on beneficial policies without hurting any consensus as it is the people’s choice which will benefit the country economically and socially as elections are held every four years and for the government to remain in place, they have to come up with new policies to solve new challenges the people face.
