Pros of Having Political Parties: Members of the governmental bodies can more easily predict the outcomes of debates based on the beliefs of the parties
Compromises can be made based on more distinct opinions of groups
Cons of Having Political Parties: Officials act in order to aid the party, rather than the people
It is more difficult for compromises to be made when a legislative body is so divided
Not all people agree with every aspect of their political party, and their opinions are not represented in full by the party
