four important elements,

state through which the

 The Nature of Political Ideology
An IDEOLOGY is more or less a coherent
set of ideas that direct or organize a
specific political action (Heywood 2013). It
consists of belief and value systems, a
discussion of existing power relationships,
an exploration of how political change is
achieved in line with these power relations,
and an illustration of a desired future.
