Question

Explain the three types of party systems and justify why the two-party system is the ideal one.

​

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. One-party system: a system in which a single political party has the right to form the government, usually based on the existing constitution, or where only one party has the exclusive control over political power.

2. Dominant-party system: a system where there is "a category of parties/ political organizations that have successively won election victories and whose future defeat cannot be envisaged or is unlikely for the foreseeable future".

3. Two party system: a system where only two parties or alliances, typically placed either side of the center, have a realistic chance of forming a majority. Other parties are very minor or solely regional. Example: The United States

4. Multi-party system: a system in which multiple political parties have the capacity to gain control of government offices, separately or in coalition.

5. Non-partisan system: a system of government or organization such that universal and periodic elections take place without reference to political parties.
