Democracy is expected to bring about certain benefits which includes:-
1. Promoting equality among citizens.
2. Providing a method to resolve conflicts.
3. Improvisation of the quality of decision making.
4. Enhancement of dignity of individuals.
5. Allowing room for the correction of mistakes.
But it was seen that many a times democracy didn't realise these expectations and hence it looked good in principle and not in practice. The The dilemma with democracy lies is its in consistency and time consumption.Many countries all over the world have accepted the concept of democracy with all the basic features while the results of it varies across the countries depending on their social situations, economic achievements and culture.
a) The needs of people are often frustrated by the Democracies and demands of the majority population are ignored many a times.
b) Decisions are delayed by prolonged deliberations and debates.
c) There are many stories of corruption which strongly proves that democracy is not uncorrupted.
Therefore, democracy is seen to be good in principle but not felt good in practice.
