Detailed Solution

Parties that do not shape public opinion are not a function of political parties. Political parties are one of the essential pillars for the healthy functioning of democracy. For ordinary citizens of a country, political parties are equal to democracy. In a democracy, a group of people comes together with a common agenda and ideology. Political parties participate in the election to form the Government.

Public participation and opinion also help in making laws for the country. The referendum is one of the tools of public opinion.
