19. Read the given extract and answer the following questions. 4

Power sharing arrangements can also be seen in the way political parties, pressure groups and movements
control or influence those in power. In a democracy, the citizens must have freedom to choose among various
contenders for power. In contemporary democracies, this takes the form of competition among different
parties. Such competition ensures that power does not remain in one hand. In the long run, power is shared
among different political parties that represent different ideologies and social groups. Sometimes this kind of
sharing can be direct, when two or more parties form an alliance to contest elections. If their alliance is
elected, they form a coalition government and thus share power. In a democracy, we find interest groups such
as those of traders, businessmen, industrialists, farmers and industrial workers. They also will have share in
governmental power, either through participation in governmental committees or bringing influence on the
decision-making process.
