Party system

A party system refers to the way political parties are organized and compete within a country’s government. It involves the number of parties, how they interact, and their influence on elections and policy-making. For example, some countries have a two-party system (like the US), where two main parties dominate, while others have multiple parties competing (like in many European countries). The party system shapes how citizens participate in politics, how policies are formed, and the stability of government. It reflects the political landscape and helps explain the diversity or unity within a nation’s democracy.
