      Finding a group in which we find ourselves with people who we share same ideological characteristics is fascinating. There are several types of groups, yet one of the most important groups we have to find in society is a political group. There are several types of political groups that are known as  “Political Parties”. There are many types of political parties with several ideologies that we may find. Some can be right-wing ideologies, some left-wing ideologies too. In a government there can be different systems o political parties such as: one party system, dominant party system, two party systems, and multiple party systems. A very important role of political parties is to socialize the common citizen and govern a country.

      A political party is defined as groups of people in whom we find ourselves identified with and share the same political ideological terms, morals, and life styles. Around the world there are many political parties. Some are socialist, others democratic, communist, and even religious. Parties have leaders and they guide their followers. Some times we wonder why political leaders need to move masses and give out speeches if they already have their followers. Well, this is so because this is done to reassure that they are going to guarantee what they have promised.  Political leaders are representatives of the people of a country.
       After the introduction of the democratic system there was a shift in the way that political parties worked. Back two hundred years, to enter political parties you had to buy your position in the party, to make an appointment and try to enter, be born on it, or have someone introduce you into the party. Modern political parties are not so old. The two oldest political parties are in the US, and Britain.
       Political parties have a very important role in society and it is to socialize. Not all political parties have the same ideology as others. But their followers find somewhat level of learning on them. Most democratic governments support political parties because this leads people to go out and vote. Voting is one of the constitutional rights for most people in a democracy. All political leaders now in modern day have to go out and persuade people to vote for them to get votes. Now to buy an office position in government is illegal. That is why political leaders have to lead political campaigns to gain these types of powers.

     There are 4 types of political systems in different states. The first is a one party system in which only one party holds power and there are non-political parties but one, an example a dictatorship such as Cuba. Than the second system is dominant party system in which one party holds power and is similar to the one party system although it varies because we can find other political parties in those types of countries that have dominant political parties, an example can be Venezuela. The third type of system is a two party system in which two political parties hold power and are in a constant shift of a dispute for power in a democratic form that are elections, an example of a two party system is the USA. The fourth type system is a multiple party system in which several parties are involved in government. An example of a multiple party system is Norway in which its past elections had eight different political parties that achieved a political achievement by getting some of their officials elected.

     Political parties are very important for a country since they help common people get identified with people who they share same political ideologies. Political parties are open for people who desire to enter and participate. Political leaders help the young Politian’s who will become the next political leaders. Political parties are important to governments because they help as guidance to its citizens and help them obtain future followers who will support the government in a future. Political parties are like soccer teams in which they play matches to see who is the best by running campaigns. Political parties may seem nice and accepting to those who they share their political ideologies although if certain groups do not agree with them you have disputes as it happens in some countries you may have social revolutions. Political parties are although more positive than a negative aspect since they unify the people of a country one way or another.
