- 7. Political parties perform several essential functions in a democracy. They contest elections by putting up candidates. They put forward different policies and programmes from which voters can choose. The party or alliance that wins a majority forms and runs the government, while those that lose form the opposition, questioning and checking the government and offering an alternative. Parties make laws through their members in the legislature. They shape public opinion on issues by raising and highlighting them. Finally, parties provide people with access to government machinery and welfare schemes, acting as a link between citizens and the government. Because of all this, parties are a necessary part of representative democracy.
