Thanks to the rivalry of various groups, the individual’s freedom is secured. From a pluralistic point of view, politics is an arena for the clash of various subjects, but none of them should have a dominant position in relation to others. Political p. as a vision of reality arises from contradicting the beliefs about the possibility of a political body capable of representing a uniform political will of an organised community.

In a pluralistic political tradition, the individual has an unlimited possibility of political participation. |
