Answer 2

Answer:

Two Party systems:

• In politics, a two-party system is a party system in which two major political parties consistently dominate the political landscape.
• At any point in time, one of the two parties typically holds a majority in the legislature and is usually referred to as the majority or governing party while the other is the minority or opposition party.
• Around the world, the term has different sense.
• For example, in the United States, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Malta, and Zimbabwe, the sense of two-party system describes an arrangement in which all or nearly all elected officials belong to either of the two major parties, and third parties rarely win any seats in the legislature.
• In such arrangements, two-party systems are thought to result from several factors, like "winner takes all" or "first past the post" election systems.

Multi-party system:

• A multi-party system is a political system in which multiple political parties across the political spectrum run for national election, and all have the capacity to gain control of government offices, separately or in coalition.
• Apart from one-party-dominant and two-party systems, multi-party systems tend to be more common in parliamentary systems than presidential systems and far more common in countries that use proportional representation compared to countries that use first-past-the-post elections.
• Several parties compete for power and all of them have reasonable chance of forming government.
