Political parties have unified groups of people and helped them seek and achieve common goals. They help to offer voters choices. Just as people have a favorite sports team that they tend to favor, political parties give people something to identify with. Political parties tend to control who get what, where, when, and how much. Their major purpose for existence is to get people to elect their candidates. Political parties tend to attract people based on their performances and their political platforms. What the promise and what they accomplish while being in office largely determine which coalitions will affiliate with their party in the next elections. So even though elections between political parties can be heated they have served as a way for people to identify with government and best express their individual voice.

No. Washington warned about the creation of political parties, but it seems that it just happened naturally since most people do have different ideas from another. It was his fear that the party would take over the agenda and not consider the "common good" of the people, and it looks like he was right about this if you analyze the parties today.
