HOW MANY PARTIES SHOULD WE HAVE?
In a democracy, any group of citizens is free to form a political party. More than 750
parties are registered with the Election Commission of India. But not all these parties
are serious contenders in the elections. So the question, then is: how many major or
effective parties are good for democracy?
In some countries, only one party is allowed to control and run the government. These
are called one-party systems. This system is not considered as a good option for
democracy.
In some countries, power usually changes between the two main parties. Such a party
system is called a two-party system. Eg: The United States of America and the United
Kingdom
If several parties compete for power, and more than two parties have a reasonable
chance of coming to power either on their own strength or in alliance with others, it is
called a multiparty system. Eg: India.
When several parties in a multi-party system join hands for the purpose of contesting
elections and winning power, it is called an alliance or a front
NATIONAL PARTIES
Every party in the country has to register with the Election Commission. It offers some
special facilities for large and established parties The Election Commission has laid
down detailed criteria of the proportion of votes and seats that a party must get in
order to be a recognised party.
A party that secures at least 6% of the total votes in an election to the Legislative
Assembly of a State and wins at least 2 seats is recognised as a State Party
A party that secures at least 6% of the total votes in Lok Sabha elections or
Assembly elections in 4 States and wins at least 4 seats in the Lok Sabha is recognised as
a National Party
