What to Focus On

  • People’s participation is direct political expression by citizens.
  • Voting is important, but not the only form of participation.
  • Public debate, protests, editorials, and campaign work are also forms of participation.
  • Public opinion is reasoned and organized.
  • It is not the same as the majority opinion or unanimous opinion.
  • It influences government, administration, and voting behaviour.
  • Print media helps inform and shape opinion.
  • Electronic media has wide and quick reach.
  • Political parties influence people through campaigns and ideas.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

People’s participation means only voting in elections.

Public opinion means the opinion of the majority or the unanimous opinion of the people.

Direct elections and indirect elections mean the same thing because both finally choose leaders.
