Step-by-step explanation:
The correct answer is:
• the party's members can be counted on to follow the leader's ideology.
Totalitarian governments are characterized by centralized and absolute control over all aspects of public and private life. In such systems, a single political party, typically led by a dictator or a small group of leaders, exercises complete authority and maintains a monopoly on political power. The party's members are expected to adhere to and promote the ideology of the leader or ruling party.
By having a single political party, the government can ensure a high degree of loyalty and conformity among its members. This allows the leader or ruling party to effectively implement their policies and control the direction of the government without facing opposition or dissent from other political parties. The party's members are expected to follow the leader's ideology and directives, maintaining a unified front and minimizing disagreements or challenges to the ruling party's authority.
While it is possible that citizens in a totalitarian government may share similar beliefs due to propaganda or coercion, the main reason for a single political party is the control and adherence to the leader's ideology within the party itself. It is not necessarily because the government runs more smoothly without bipartisan disagreements or that the single political party has perpetually beaten all other political parties.
