Why does the democratic nature of elections decline if opposition is suppressed?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because voters’ choices and critical debate decrease

Correct answer: A, because voters’ choices and critical debate decrease. An opposition party or candidate offers an alternative to the ruling side, questions its decisions, and presents different policies. This helps voters compare programmes and examine the government’s performance. When opposition is suppressed through unfair restrictions, intimidation, censorship, or other barriers, citizens may face only a limited or artificial choice. Public debate also becomes weaker because fewer voices can question those in power. Option A is correct because free competition and criticism are important democratic conditions. Option B is wrong because suppression reduces, rather than increases, freedom of political choice. Option C is wrong because equality of votes is a separate principle and is not the harmful effect described here. Option D is wrong because weakening opposition does not automatically strengthen an election authority. Memory cue: opposition provides choice and accountability.
