The association of political parties with social groups is not inherently bad; it can foster representation and ensure that the interests and needs of diverse communities are addressed in governance. However, it can lead to divisiveness and exclusion if it promotes sectarianism or prioritizes the interests of specific groups over the common good. Ultimately, the impact depends on the nature of the association and how inclusively the political discourse is managed. Effective political engagement should aim to bridge divides rather than deepen them.
Interest groups focus on a specific policy where as political parties have a wider spectrum on their political agenda.
