  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The basic difference between a political party and an interest group is ______________.
    Solution
    Political parties and interest groups are groups of people that share similar views and ideas. Political parties focus on a larger variety of issues and aim at achieving power by winning the electoral process; conversely, interest groups have a narrower focus and do not participate in elections. Not all members of a political party have the same ideas, but all members of an interest group are deeply committed to the ideal and the view of the group and engage in fundraising and lobbying activities to promote their point of view. Thus, they differ over the internal organization. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the factors do not make the basic difference, hence, incorrect.
