Examine the possible consequences on the basic rights of party members within political organisations that lack internal democracy.

Consequences of lacking internal democracy in political organizations on party members’ basic rights:

1. Limited Participation: Reduced involvement in decision-making processes.
2. Lack of Accountability: Leaders not held responsible for actions or decisions.
3. Restricted Freedom of Expression: Constraints on expressing dissent or alternative views.
4. Undermined Fair Elections: Impaired fairness in candidate selection for elections.
5. Diminished Right to Information: Limited access to crucial party information.
6. Weakened Representation: Inadequate representation of members’ views or interests.
7. Potential Exclusion: Marginalization of certain members or factions within the party.
8. Erosion of Trust: Decreased confidence in party leadership due to lack of transparency.

These consequences collectively impede the basic rights of party members, undermining the democratic functioning and fairness within the political organization.
