Political organisation

Political organisation

A political party is any organization or group that is concerned with, or involved in the political process. Political organizations can include everything from special interest groups who lobby politicians for change, to think tanks that propose policy alternatives, to political parties who run candidates for elections, to terrorist groups that use violence to achieve political goals.In a broader sense, a political organization can also be viewed as a political system, as long as it includes the entire system and body of government. It is a part of the total organization concerned with the preservation of social order within a specified territory by a duly recognized authority. It also creates a form of structure to abide by.
