 New Statesman - Political parties in comparative perspective
Since political education and integration of the newly enfranchised masses was the primary goal of the left, it was obvious that the mobilisation of as many individual supporters as possible was necessary; this also generated resources, whereas the cadre parties of the traditional right were sustained by a limited number of wealthy backers.
With parties less closely tied to particular social groups, they are obliged to compete for the votes of very heterogeneous blocks of supporters and the task of aggregating this diversity of interests is bound to be daunting.
Nevertheless, despite the long list of complaints and challenges laid at the door of political parties, it would be wrong to write them off as essentially dysfunctional in a modern democratic setting.
