If only the ruling party is allowed to campaign in an election, what weakness will exist?

Correct answer: Fair competition will weaken

Direct answer: B, fair competition will weaken. In a democratic election, the ruling party and opposition parties should have a fair opportunity to communicate with voters. If only the ruling party can campaign, citizens may hear only one side, while other parties cannot explain their policies or criticise the government’s record. This reduces meaningful choice and gives the ruling party an unfair advantage. A is wrong because excluding opposition parties is the opposite of equal opportunity. C is wrong because permission to campaign does not automatically correct or improve the voter list. D is wrong because a secret ballot concerns keeping an individual vote private; it does not depend on whether all parties may campaign. The central issue is equal political opportunity. Memory cue: one-sided campaigning means one-sided choice.
