"The British Party System"

The British party system is primarily dominated by two major political parties: the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. These parties compete in elections to form the government and influence policy. Smaller parties, such as the Liberal Democrats, Green Party, and others, also play roles, often representing specific issues or regional interests. The system is characterized by a parliamentary democracy, where voters choose representatives who form the government based on majority support in Parliament. This two-party dynamic leads to clear government-opposition differentiation, though the presence of smaller parties can influence coalitions and legislative debates.
