The presence of political parties in a democracy is imperative. There is no democracy without political parties. However, on the contrary, democracy can also give birth to political parties.

The intimacy of the relationship between the two is very close, their presence depends on each other; mutually "establishing" each other, but at the same time can "negate" each other because the basic principle of political parties is the foundation of democracy and the guardian of the norms of the primacy of the people\'s sovereignty, not a monolithic order.
