Party Platform

Explanation:

A party platform which is also known as party program refers to the set of principles or policy stance that the party has. This is used to define the value that the party holds and eventually leads to attracting that specific vote bank. However, it is not written mainly for election purposes and is not directed on election related issues. It is rather a formal document that provides a policy stance on different issues on which not having a clear stances might be a negative impact and can lead to controversy if a fellow partisan is found to be involved in it. One example could be racism and the party can provide a clear stance against it through the party platform and direct all party members to avoid any such comments or actions.
