A difference between a political party and an interest group is that the main goal of B) a political party is to get its members elected into political office. Whereas, an interest group seeks to support certain candidates that will support the same goals as the interest group. Interest groups do not necessarily have specific party affiliations but rather support candidates they believe will promote their interests in government regardless of party affiliation.
