no..... interest groups
Interest groups focus on a specific policy where as political parties have a wider spectrum on their political agenda.
Representation and education are the two main functions of interest groups.
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.
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.

The two main functions of interest groups are to represent its membership and educate the public. Also most importantly, interest groups work to have their interests supported in the policies of government. That's why interest groups give campaign donations to support candidates that will carry out an agenda that fits the interests of the group.
Public interest groups are similar to nonpartisan groups because a public interest group can be a nonpartisan group and be free from ties to any political parties. In ways they still differ because public interest group can still also be part of a political party.
