Detailed Solution

Political parties have a much broader base than pressure groups, differentiating between a political party and a pressure group. Pressure groups have limited membership, and most have a specific interest and reason to work on it. They work for the collective good of their members.

Political parties are usually composed of people from different backgrounds and interests, which often conflict. But because their main aim is to win elections, they have to broaden their membership base and accommodate diversity within the party.
