Answer 1

Not all countries that conduct general elections are necessarily ideal. This assertion is true because democracy is criticized for not offering enough political stability in many countries.Additionally, frequent elections due to instability of coalition governments undermines democracy. As such, countries like India frequently form coalitions after elections on the basis of alliance to strengthen the viable majority, which is not an ideal concurrence.
