What is a political party?• A political party is an organized group of people who
share similar political beliefs and goals.• Parties are made up of ‘members’ from the public. • Party members work together to achieve power
through an election and try to accomplish their goals.• Each party also selects a leader, usually through a
leadership contest.

What is a party platform?• A party platform explains the party’s ideas to deal
with major issues and how to make improvements.• While all political parties may agree that education is
important, they may have different ideas about how to improve the system and the steps that should be taken.
• During elections, parties share their platform through announcements, advertising and events, and try to attract support from voters.
