In almost all the democracy, bi-party system or multi party system exists. In this kind of systems, political parties contest election against each other and try to win the majority in the Assemblies. For this big promises are made to voters. They even favour particular groups to gain their support. In this way they try to create differences among the various social groups. When social differences overlap each other, social division takes place. This social division creates distrust and tension among the various social groups which is not favourable for national integration. Hence in this way political and social divisions are related to each other.

(1) When some social differences overlap with other differences. For example the difference between black and white becomes a social division in the US because the Blacks tend to be poor.
(2) If social differences cross cut one another, it is difficult to pick one group of people against other. It means that group sharing a common interest on one issues are likely to be on different side on different issues. For example both Northern Ireland and the Netherland are predominantly Christian but are divided into Catholic and Protestant.
