The statement concerning political party platforms that is most likely to be true is that the parties generally adhere to their platforms both, during the campaign and while in office.

When the candidate is in his political campaign, he expresses and shares the party platform that he represents as well as his ideas, improvements and campaign promises. If he wins, then whe he gets to the office, he has to have a plan to follow through with the promises made during the campaign. This means that he has to respect the party's platform and deliver the respective results of his compromises during the campaign.
