15. Party System
• A political party is an organization that coordinates candidates to compete in a particular country's elections. It is
common for the members of a party to hold similar ideas about politics, and parties may promote
specific ideological or policy goals.
• Political parties have become a major part of the politics of almost every country, as modern party organizations
developed and spread around the world over the last few centuries. It is extremely rare for a country to have no
political parties. Some countries have only one political party while others have several. Parties are important in the
politics of autocracies as well as democracies, though usually democracies have more political parties than autocracies.
Autocracies often have a single party that governs the country, and some political scientists consider competition
between two or more parties to be an essential part of democracy.
• Parties can develop from existing divisions in society, like the divisions between lower and upper classes, and they
streamline the process of making political decisions by encouraging their members to cooperate. Political parties
usually include a party leader, who has primary responsibility for the activities of the party; party executives, who may
select the leader and who perform administrative and organizational tasks; and party members, who may volunteer to
help the party, donate money to it, and vote for its candidates. There are many different ways in which political parties
can be structured and interact with the electorate. The contributions that citizens give to political parties are often
regulated by law, and parties will sometimes govern in a way that favours the people who donate time and money to
them.
• Many political parties are motivated by ideological goals. It is common for democratic elections to feature
competitions between liberal, conservative, and socialist parties; other common ideologies of very large political
parties include communism, populism, nationalism, and Islamism. Political parties in different countries will often
adopt similar colours and symbols to identify themselves with a particular ideology. However, many political parties
have no ideological affiliation, and may instead be primarily engaged in patronage, clientelism, or
the advancement of a specific political entrepreneur.
