8. What do parties do?

Parties are a key part of our political system. But what exactly do they do, and what part will they play in the general election? Political parties perform an important role in the electoral process.

Victoria describes how the parties develop policy programmes, support candidates, and try to communicate their ideas to the electorate via door-to-door campaigning, television, and social media.
