what is the primary goal of interest groups and political parties
If political parties were eliminated, interest groups may have more power as they could have direct access to policymakers without the filter of party influence. However, without parties to provide structure and coordination, interest groups may face challenges in advocating for their positions effectively and could struggle to influence government decisions on a broader scale.
1. Create an alliance with the candidate; this helps the candidate to get elected because they will have some connection. For example, a candidate aligning with an anti-abortion group will have votes from those who believe anti-abortion is the right thing. 2. Interest groups give money to campaigns.
Some of the major political parties in the Philippines include the Liberal Party, the PDP-Laban, the Nacionalista Party, and the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban). These parties have varying ideologies and affiliations with different politicians and interest groups.
Pluralism is a political theory that views politics as a competition among diverse interest groups, each vying for influence and power. These interest groups are seen as essential components of a democratic society, with no single group dominating the political landscape.
They are needed for organizing things in Congress, especially. If there were no political parties, how would Congress be organized? Who would appoint the committees? Who would try to set an agenda? It would be chaos.They are useful for the electoral process. The two parties serve as a pretty good way of getting like-minded people together. If they were not there, it would be much harder to identify good candidates, get them to run for office, support them, etc.They serve as an opposing factor to the interest groups. If it were not for parties, the interest groups would be unopposed. The parties try to pull people together in broad coalitions. The interest groups try to pull them apart on single issues.
The first way is making nominations. Political parties make nominations while interest groups support nominations. Second is the primary focus. Political parties have many different focuses while interest groups tend to have one focus. Third the scope of their interest is different. The interest group is very focused on one item while the political party cannot spend too much time on one topic.
Interest groups focus on a specific policy where as political parties have a wider spectrum on their political agenda.
1st Political parties are normally much bigger with exception to the AARP. 2nd the main function of a political party is to win election so they can control the government, interest groups do not offer candidates themselves. Interest groups aim to influence the officials who are elected. 3rd interest groups are usually narrower in their focus than political parties. Finally, many interest groups are extremely ideological whereas the two parties are not.

Interest groups are different from political parties in the sense that they are the ones paying the political parties to help them represent certain views or get certain bills passed in their favor.

I believe that political parties and special interest groups formed mainly to group like-ideas together and give a voice to lesser known platforms.
