Why is it necessary to study about political party?

The existence of political parties is why politicians can never have real values or accountability and why the public can never have fair representation. Put simply, politicians are expendable servants of a larger entity - the party, who's survival and succession is everything. All democracies (whether US two party or European multi-party) become mainstream dualities where two dominant parties, simply spend most of their time opposing one another in view. Real diversity of thought and all the subtle shades of grey that make up the truth of matters are shut out in favour of black and white polarisation of opinion by the two dominant players.
If all politicians were independent, it would mean that they actually were required to speak their own mind rather than tow the line that the party dictates to them. They would need to innovate and to be different, to stand up and to gain reputation in order to build widespread appeal. Yet under the current system, if politicians don't play ball for the party, pretty soon their chances of rising through the ranks evaporate. In this sense, both ethics and sensible policy are both left behind since if one party has chosen a direction for a given debate, the other must oppose and the politician is forced to support something that may be inappropriate at best or damaging nonsense at worst. True values, beliefs and integrity matter little in a career political party based system of democracy.
Just like the way the corporation absolves individuals of responsibility for excessive greed, so too the political party system removes the need for politicians to shoulder responsibility for their policy choices. Party systems help the ruling elite maintain their position by ensuring that those with real talent and drive to create change can never be heard and can never attain power.
From this fundamental, structural flaw, I believe political parties are unfit for any democracy, American or otherwise

Political parties perform an important task in government. They bring people together to achieve control of the government, develop policies favorable to their interests or the groups that support them, and organize and persuade voters to elect their candidates to office.
