political parties
Interest groups and political parties are similar in that they both seek to influence government decisions and policies. However, interest groups tend to focus on specific policy issues and cater to a narrower range of interests, while political parties have a broader ideological platform and compete to govern and hold political power. Interest groups also tend to advocate for specific causes, while political parties aim to win elections and govern.
No nation is currently scheduled to hold an executive or legislative election on November 26 2012.
The two major political parties in the United States are the Democrat Party and the Republican Party. In the political power structure in the USA, third parties have a short life and tend to divert votes from one of the major parties who have similar beliefs. This weakens the party closest to the 3rd party.
Minor parties exist because the United States is theoretically a multi-party system, even though two parties hold almost all the power. They exist because they have the right to exist, and because the political landscape is always changing.
