Why Do We Have Political Parties?

Imagine your classroom has a big decision to make, like choosing between pizza or burgers for lunch. Some kids want pizza and others want burgers, so they form groups to argue for their favorite food. That's kind of how political parties work in real life. They help people group together with similar ideas and try to win the chance to make important decisions for everyone.
