Sure, political parties are meant to be ideological groupings of people. In a democracy, if you treat the political spectrum of ideologies as ranging between the extreme left- and the extreme right- you find that extremist ideologies are unfortunately more limiting and non-accepting of the "others" (either because they are scornful towards democratic values or believe only in a subset of it, i.e. majoritarian democracy). Where as a right-leaning or left-leaning or a centrist party in a democracy is often more accepting and open towards other non-extremist ideologies as long as it isn't at loggerhead with the core values of a party. (But when even such parties show a lack of tolerance to others, it is often a sign of a democracy in trouble - https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/93862/does-demo... ).
