Why is power sharing desirable?

Power sharing is distribution or arrangement of powers between groups or states of a nation.

Power is important because:

a. Almost every nation has various ethnicity; there are various religious and linguistic groups. So, arranging or distributing the powers among these groups reduces the occurrence of conflict in the nation. By sharing power, a nation ensures that stability and political order is maintained.

b. In a democratic nation, power sharing is more significant, because in a democracy the people have the right to be consulted about the governance.

Example: In our Parliament, seats are reserved for women and socially backward community, to give these community chance to represent themselves. This type of arrangement is made to give the minority communities a fair share in the power.
