If we want Haiti to become truly democratic, we ought to be willing to try new things. Strengthening our democratic political system Haiti has now about sixty political parties with twenty-nine of them registered as such. It is clear however that only a very few of them deserve such title. This is a problem. We need to find a way to end that cycle, of political parties coming and going depending on the time and circumstances.
Political parties are an integral part of democratic institutions.
They need to exist in such a system to allow the people decent choices. Narrowing the field of parties would ensure a few things. This would amongst other things, help bring more focus to the important issues. It would also guarantee a greater level of stability in the process. One of the better ways to strengthen our democratic system would be to have in the short term, at most five political parties in Haiti, rather than the sixty we have now.
