Answer 2

The answer is: A) They try to get their members elected whom they expect to vote along the party platform on issues.

Political parties have certain viewpoints on the way public policies should be created or organized. A way of influencing their viewpoints on public policy is through their members. Thus, getting members of the party elected into public seats in turn lets them gather a large following on voting on an issue they would like changed.
