Parties are formed form groups of people with the same political goals coming together to try and achieve these common goals.
In a democratic country there must be at least two parties but there may be many more.
At an election, the parties put up their candidates for election and the people vote for the candidate they want to represent their views.
Usually the party with the most elected candidates will form the party of government (the ruling party) and the rest form the opposition.
However, in countries with more than one party, it may be that no one party wins a majority of seats and in this case, a group of parties come together to form a coalition government with the rest forming the opposition.
