Unfinished political reform

The practice of internal democracy in our major political parties is essentially absent or a sham.

Political reform is generally a continuous, incremental process of institutionalising the “post-revolution” radical change in regime, ideally, from an undemocratic to a democratic set of political forces and rulers. For legendary American political scientist of the 20th century, Samuel P Huntington , political reform meant “the peaceful—hence gradual, hence usually negotiated—enhancement of liberty, justice, equality, democracy, and responsibility in politics”. Political reform is often synonymous with promoting and consolidating the “ democratisation ” of the state.
