"Max Weber on Parties: Whereas the genuine place of classes is within the economic order, the place of status groups is within the social order…But parties live in a house of power… Party actions are always directed towards a goal which is striven for in a planned manner. The goal may be a ‘cause’ (the party may aim at realising a program for ideal or material purposes), or the goal may be ‘personal’ (sinecures, power, and from these, honour for the leader and followers of the party).  "
