Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Define the role of party platforms as the instrument that parties use to formulate, convey, and promote public policy.
2, Explain that elections can be more candidate-centered than party-centered and that, even when a party is in the majority, it cannot guarantee passage of its program.
