Political parties often respond to social movements by adapting their platforms, incorporating key demands, or aligning themselves with specific causes to attract voters. They may also seek alliances with movement leaders or organizations to gain credibility and support. This responsiveness is essential, as social movements can mobilize significant grassroots activism and shape public discourse. However, parties must balance this engagement with maintaining their core ideologies, ensuring that their actions resonate with their traditional voter base while responding to emerging societal demands.
