Politics can be described as the activities associated with achieving power in society or influencing the actions of government.
A political party is made up of people who share similar beliefs and goals about society and government.
In order for the political party to have the chance to work towards its goals, the party tries to win an election and lead the government.
Political parties are made up of members of the community. Anyone above the required age (usually 14-years-old) can be a member of a political party.
During elections, political parties usually release a political platform, which outlines their promises and actions the party will take if they are elected.
