Good or bad for democracy? What's your opinion?

I'm really quite undecided on the whole one thing. On the one hand they're are a good way fo like-minded individuals to pool resources and other stuff but on the other I think it makes people vote depending on "labels".

Also, who decides what's party policy?

I think they are a good idea. There is little difference between the mainparties, well here in Ireland anyway. But I thinkt hey are a good idea. At least everyone isn't singing form the same hym sheet.

I suppose but if each party represents certain values does that really give people a real choice when it comes to who represents them?
