The term party official, although it can be generically referred to all office holders within a political party, is usually used more specifically to designate the components of the stable bureaucratic apparatuses of the mass parties. They, like all bureaucratic officials, carry out their activities full-time and are remunerated with a salary, which makes them fall into the Weberian category of professional politicians, that is, those who make a living from politics. A political party is an association between people united by the same vision, identity, line or political purpose of public interest or relating to fundamental issues concerning the management of the State and society or even only on specific or particular issues. The activity of the political party, aimed at operating for the common interest, local or national, it is expressed through the space of public life with the definition of a political program or plan to be pursued and, in the current representative democracies, it has electoral as its "prevailing sphere". Parties are mediators between the state and citizens. The parties in fact perform the function of controlling the governed over the rulers: since the candidates appear on party lists, it is more easily punishable a possible breach of the pact of trust between the elected candidate and the voters who voted for him. (no longer voting for the party to which he belongs). Parties structure the vote: this is because the candidates in the elections are predominantly members of a party, and because the party is the entity with which the voters identify themselves. It performs a function of political socialization, since through their action the parties educate the voters for democracy. Finally, while interest groups articulate the interests of citizens, parties are concerned with aggregating these interests.
