Question

Distinguish between bi-party system and multi-party system.

Answer 1

Every nation has established a system for facilitating and running the government. A multiparty system is one which has several (more than two) political parties to contest and gain control of the government. The coalition government is the characteristic feature of the multi-party system where one or two or more parties form an alliance together to take hold of the Government. E.g., India has the Multi-party system. There are various political parties at regional and National levels.

A Bi-Party system, on the other hand, is the one which has only two parties who contest for gaining power and control of the government. There are two candidates from two major parties. E.g., The American system.
