Political Party Systems

A political party system refers to the way political parties are organized and interact within a political context. It can be classified into various types, such as single-party systems (one party controls everything), two-party systems (two major parties dominate), and multiparty systems (multiple parties compete for power). This organization influences how elections are conducted, how governments are formed, and how policies are made. The type of system affects political representation, voter choice, and the stability of government, impacting how citizens engage in their democracy and how effectively their interests are addressed.
