   Political Parties
   Political parties serve to aggregate diverse interests into coherent platforms and mobilize voters. Their formation is often explained by Duverger's Law, which suggests that simple plurality electoral systems tend to favor a two-party structure, whereas PR systems encourage multi-party competition. In many jurisdictions, parties are structured around regional grievances or specific economic sectors, such as the historic prominence of agrarian parties in early 20th-century European states.
