Abstract
The extent to which the emergence of political parties and multi-party elections mark the path to genuinely plural politics varies greatly. Conventional wisdom that multi-party democracy and free elections were both a good thing in their own right and formed a large part of establishing a functioning democracy has begun to be questioned not only by academics but by democratic support practitioners. Nevertheless, democracy remains 'the worst system of government, except for all the others'.
