c. a tyranny
Tom DeLay, a former member of the United States House of Representatives, once suggested that a nation without partisanship would be "a tyranny."
- His point was based on the idea that a democratic government relies on the existence of differing opinions and the ability to debate and discuss those opinions vigorously. In his view, partisanship, or the strong support of a specific party and its policies, is a necessary component of a functioning democracy, as it ensures that there is a challenge to the ruling party's ideas and actions, thus preventing a single party or group from holding unchecked power.
