Also with many people of diferent groups and thinkings, they would not all agree on the same political ideology. Yes, I believe that political parties because we would have different views on everything and we can compromise. Yes, because it gives us diffrent insight on others opinions. No, it creates a monopoly If one party gets to popular, it also makes people vote based on the party only. yes, because it helps discuss problems and negatives. In a way but only when they get to an agreement because there's often a lot of problems if you're working with someone in another party other than yours. I believe that the different political parites aren't that good for our nation because it causes disputes. No, because the seperate parties cannot agree on anything. Page 13 of 14
They have there benefits but in the end they do cause a lot of problems with people only believeing what that politcal party has to say Good.
