Abstract
Political party is a cluster of populace, organized to obtain and implement
political power. Parties develop a political programme that defines their ideology
and sets out the agenda they would follow, to win elective office or get power
through constitutional means. Different countries have single party, two parties or
multi party systems. The single party system is established in the states where true
political argument is not allowed. The two parties and multi-party system presents
way of resolving political difference among plural culture and hence are
analytical of democratic system. As Pakistan is a plural society thus multi-party
system where parties have different political trends, beliefs and programmes is
suitable. In the 1970 General Elections, Pakistan had seen for the first time
mobilization and iinter-play of diversified ideologies. Along with other ideologies
„Socialism‟,was the base of Pakistan People‟s Party which generated very serious
debate in the country during the elections. Afterwards „Socialism‟ is no more an
idea like a far cry, it became a household ideology and evolved because of
peculiar religio-social fabric of Pakistani society into „Islamic Socialism‟,
Musawat-i-Muhammadi‟, and „Bhuttoism‟
