Solution
Political parties are organisations which participate in political activity and democracy by contesting elections, forming governments and more importantly, participating in legislature. Political parties have agendas or fundamental principles and philosophy that they will put into practice when in power. While some parties are limited to certain regions, others have a national presence, meaning they are found throughout the country. Regional parties agenda generally answers regional issues and development. But national parties have the development of the entire nation and focuses on keeping the development uniform.
