“Internal democracy within a political party” or “intra-party democracy (IPD)” can be determined by the degree to which party members and supporters are involved in all levels of decision making within political parties. Therefore, this concept is wide-ranging and multidimensional. Inclusiveness is the most important factor in determining a party’s internal democracy. In inclusive parties, the key decisions, such as party platform development, party leadership selection, and candidate selection, are made by a broad cross-section of party members. On the contrary, in parties with low internal democracy, only a small number of party executives are involved in these decisions.
