Political parties.
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.
Democracy could exist without political parties. Parties, in many schools of political theory, serve as coordinating institutions where individuals with common interests work in a group to attain their ends more readily than by themselves. Parties are useful because they allow for common control and operation of democratic institutions, but democracy could operate without them. For example, in many countries, elections (where at the municipal, sub-federal, or federal level) don't allow candidates to be affiliated with any particular political party.

It depends upon the country. For example, in Burma, which is ruled by a military dictatorship, political parties have NO power, but decrease some anxiety in the population, by pretending that there is democracy there. Similarly for countrie ruled by absolute monarchies. is America a real democracy, when 26% of people can decide the government, as 50% of the people don't bother to vote? Political parties should not be confused with power entities. Often the functions of political parties are merely symbolic in today's world.
