PD Means - What it did - Outcome (Indicator)
+ PD governments successfully prevented the eruption of large sale or violent labour unrest via the skilful cultivation of union-government relationships and dialogues, thus preserving the overall social order.
+ The accommodation for a variety of views helped in the management of diverse interests, thereby preventing racial tensions from disrupting social stability.
- The allowance of political competition opened up space for diverse political actors to exist, with divergent political interests resulting in constant changes in the composition of leadership.
- PD governments lacked the will to forcibly suppress political opposition, thereby paving the way for increased military intervention in politics, ultimately culminating into military takeovers of the government.
- The accommodation of minority interests under PD fuelled anger from the majority and culminated into ethnic riots, which resulted in structural changes of the political system to restore political stability.
