It is common for the members of a party to hold similar ideas about politics, and parties may promote specific political ideology, ideological or policy goals.

Some countries have Single-party state, only one political party while others have Multi-party system, several. Parties are important in the politics of autocracies as well as democracies, though usually democracies have more political parties than autocracies.
