 role of political parties. In this session we are going to discuss that what is a political party and what is basically the role of a political party. Because political party is an organization that nominates candidates to stand for election in the name and seeks to place representative in the government. Basically the function of a political party is that it nominates the candidate who will participate in the election and then if people vote for it in the government or opposition, it will play an important role. Then a party basically is an organization of societies active political agent who compete for popular sport with another group or persons holding diverse views. And parties are inevitable specifically in the form of democracy or in the form of any representative system of politics because the government basically needs the representative people to perform the duties. And the relationship between the political party and democracy it is again a very important component of any representative form of government because if the relationship between the representatives and the political party is satisfactory then definitely the performance of the government and the performance of the system must be catered as the popular and responsible form of government. So we can say that the political parties they are the basic pillars of our representative democracies and historically if we may analyze that when we talk about and when we talk about the evolution and the systematic development of democratic form of government the role of political party it is actually very important and critical. Political party and democracy can be an important relationship because democracy means the government of democracy. And democracy for that when the population was very low then there was a direct democracy today. Did you know each other directly or did you know each other or did you know each other and because of less population interaction was possible. But in today's era and then the phases in the 19th and 20th centuries when the political parties had a rise in their development then what was the effect behind it that as the population is increasing as the ideologies are growing and the parties have to make their program and manifesto so that people can give a framework and follow that framework and the framework that suits people favor that party because ultimately who has an exclusive will have to rule the government. So if people have a proper manifesto this program will reach them and they will have the idea that who is the leader of this party then it will be easier for people to vote for themselves and on the basis of that vote they will know who is the leader of their party. But if the political parties do not strengthen the political communication with people then this gap becomes so strong that people have the idea that instead of giving a vote to a political party, it should be given a vote to an independent candidate who talks more about their political party. So in today's era if we want to talk about the role of political parties then definitely we have to talk about that whether political parties have some manifesto whether they have a proper framework and who are their candidates. Whether their candidates are ideologically affiliated with their political parties or at the time of elections they meet with that party just to win the elections. And when ideological affiliation is not there then the role of the political party is weak and ultimately its impact and influence comes on the political system and the impact or the influence comes on the political system is negative. So we can imagine that the role of political parties in strengthening democracy or in the working of a political system it is quite important and definitely we must have some understanding regarding the role of political parties.
