8. how are political parties and interest groups similar?

Political parties and interest groups are similar as they are inspired by certain ideologies and they try in their own ways to bring changes for the betterment of society.

Explanation:

Political parties can be deemed as interest groups, but with the desire to have power. There is not much difference in the functioning of both as both hold issues up and work for them to be resolved. The working of interest groups is complementary to the working of the political party in power as it is because of the interest groups the government realizes the intensities of issues faced by people of society.
