Political parties and interest groups interact in a complex relationship where both influence policy-making. Political parties often seek the support of interest groups to gain funds and mobilize voters, while interest groups leverage their connection to parties to advocate for specific policies. Interest groups can shape party platforms by promoting issues that align with their goals. However, this relationship also raises concerns about the potential for corporate influence and the prioritization of group interests over the general public's needs. Effective synergy fosters political representation, yet the balance must consider ethical implications.
