Abstract

Today, political parties have a special place in political systems, so that play a crucial role in some modern democracies, and they sometimes determine the political destiny of societies and the public alike. In some societies, development and partisanship are tied together and without it, even social and economic development would be awkward.  In the Islamic Republic system, parties can play a fundamental role, because based on religious populism people are so principal in the Islamic state.  In this study, based on the theoretical framework of the role of the parties in the party systems, we answer the question of what is the work of the party in the Islamic system from the point of view of the Supreme Leader? What is the ratio of these subjects to the roles that are raised for parties in conventional political thought?
