Political parties 

• Political parties are easily one of  the most visible institutions in a  democracy.

• For most ordinary  citizens, democracy is equal to  political parties.

• If you travel to  remote parts of our country and  speak to the less educated citizens,
  you could come across people who may not know anything about our Constitution or about the nature of our government.
