We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect
those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not
serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people. –John Lynch
In the democratic system that we live in, people are
allowed to voice their opinions and views due to the rights provided to them by
the constitution. People with similar views can be clustered to form groups. One
person alone cannot bring about a change but the ideas of a group can be acknowledged
by the government through political parties.
Political parties have numerous responsibilities. Some
of them include representation of the masses, formulation of social goals,
integration of interests, mobilization of the electorate and organization of
government processes. Generally, political parties are official entities that
influence the distribution of power within a society and work in the best
interest of the people.
At times, parties may not prove to work for the welfare
of the nation at large. For example, the Nazi Party in Germany remained adamant
on their principles and in their quest to dominate the world, sacrificed countless
innocent lives. Thus, traditionally believed to serve the nation, parties may deviate
and lure people into electing their own oppressors.
