On the other hand, the role of parties in the process of political development and the deepening of democracy is emphasized. In this study, the attitudes of the sixth and seventh term Majlis - as one of the most important pillars of the political system - to the role of divisiveness in political development, and the impact of this attitude on their political behavior, are examined. The findings of the study indicate a significant correlation between a positive attitude to the role of parties in political development and a tendency to party activity.
