Three main defects (demerits) of democracy are as follows: 

1. Corrupt system of administration: 

In practical context, democracy is dominated by lies, fraud, dishonesty and corruption. For obtaining powers, political parties prepare farcical and deceptive manifesto. They make false promises to the people and adopt improper and immoral means to please their supporters. After winning the election, they provide different types of favor to them. 

2. Administration of unqualified persons: 

In democracy, unqualified persons get entry into administration on the basis of money and muscle power. They do not have any inclusive training of polities. By merely a simple qualification, of being a senior member of the victorious party, they reach the pinnacle of system of governance. 

3. Lack of social equality: 

In practical terms, social equality is not established in democracy. The main cause of this continuity is high-low, the rich and the poor, class struggle and economic inequalities. These inequalities are the main hindrances in the path of social equality in democratic countries.
