Third parties are often referred to as minor parties because they have less influence, resources, and representation compared to the two major political parties in a given country. These parties typically struggle to gain significant electoral support and face obstacles in achieving political power.

Members of political parties have all the freedom they want to vote against their parties. The reason this is rare is because if the member wants to get anywhere further in his/her political career, he/she will need a LOT of support from the party. And your party will not help you if you try to vote against it on important issues to the party. Nobody wants to be a pariah in his/her own party.
hard money is given directly to political campaigns, while soft money is given to political parties for "voter education."
