  1. POLITCAL PARTIES BY- TANMAY GAUTAM 

  2. WHAT ARE POLITICAL PARTIES? • A POLITICAL PARTY IS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO COME TOGETHER TO CONTEST ELECTIONS AND HOLD POWER IN THE GOVERNMENT. • ALL POLITICAL PARTIES HAVE SOME POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES FOR THE SOCIETY. THEY TRY TO PERSUADE PEOPLE WHY THEIR POLISIES ARE BETTER THAN OTHERS. THEY SEEK TO IMPLEMENT THEIR POLICIES BY WINNING POPULAR SUPPORT THROUGH ELECTIONS. 

  3. POLITICAL PARTIES REFLECT FUNDAMENTAL POLITICAL DIVISIONS IN A SOCIETY. ALL THE PARTIES FAVOUR CERTAIN PART OF THE SOCIETY  AND THUS THEY INVOLVE PARTISANSHIP. • A POLITICAL PARTY HAS THE FOLLOWING THREE COMPONENTS: • THE LEADERS  • THE ACTIVE MEMBERS • THE FOLLOWERS 

  4. WHAT ARE THE FUNCTIONS OF POLITICAL PARTIES? • CONTESTING ELECTIONS:  POLITICAL PARTIES CONTEST ELECTIONS. A POLITICAL PARTY NOMINATES ITS CANDIDATE FOR THE ELECTORAL CONTEST IN VARIOUS CONSTITUENCES. IN COUNTRIES LIKE THE USA, THE CANDIDATES ARE SELECTED BY MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS OF A PARTY. ON THE OTHER HAND, IN COUNTRIES LIKE INDIA, THE CANDIDATES ARE CHOSEN BY TOP PARTY LEADERS.

  5. POLICIES:  EVERY PARTY HAS DIFFERENT POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES. VOTERS MAKE A CHOICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE POLICIES AND PROGRAMMES LIKED BY THEM. • MAKING LAWS: POLITICAL PARTIES PLAY A DECISIVE ROLE IN MAKING LAWS FOR THE COUNTRY. NO LAW CAN BECOME A BILL UNLESS A MAJORITY PARTIES SUPPORT IT. LAWS ARE DEBATED AND PASSED IN LEGISLATURE. 

  6. FORMATION OF GOVERNMENT: PARTIES FORM AND RUN GOVERNMENTS. THEY RECRUIT LEADERS AND TRAIN THEM TO BE MINISTERS AND RUN THE GOVERNMENT IN THE WAY THEY WANT IT. • PLAYING OPPOSITION: PARTIES THAT LOSE THE ELECTION FORM THE OPPOSITION. THE OPPOSITION VOICES DIFFERENT VIEWS AND CRITICIZE THE FAILURES OF THE GOVERNMENT.

  7. SHAPING PUBLIC OPINION: POLITICAL PARTIES SHAPE PUBLIC OPINION. WITH THE HELP OF THE PRESSURE GROUPS, THE PARTIES LAUNCH MOVEMENTS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS FACED BY THE PEOPLE. • ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT MACHINERY AND WELFARE SCHEMES: PARTIES PROVIDE THE COMMON MAN ACCESS TO GOVERNMENT MACHINERY AND WELFARE SCHEMES. IT IS EASIER FOR A PERSON TO MEET A LOCAL PARTY LEADER THAN A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.

  8. WHY DO WE NEED POLITICAL PARTIES?  IF THERE WERE NO POLITICAL PARTIES, EVERY CANDIDATE IN THE ELECTION WOULD BE AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE. ANY INDIVIDUAL CANDIDATE DOES NOT HAVE THE EFFICIENCY TO PROMISE ANY MAJOR POLICY CHANGE TO THE PEOPLE. IN SUCH A SCENARIO, NO ONE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HOW THE COUNTRY IS RUN. IN THE LONG RUN, ONLY A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY CAN SURVIVE. POLITICAL PARTIES ARE THE AGENCIES THAT GATHER DIFFERENT VIEWS ON VARIOUS ISSUES AND PRESENT THEM TO THE GOVERNMENT.
