party system
Electoral coalition framework
A party system is the configuration of political parties in a country and how they compete for power.
A two-party system like that of the United States concentrates power between two dominant parties.
A multiparty system allows several parties meaningful roles.
The number of parties, their ideological range, and their relative strength define the system: Italy's fragmented party system makes coalition governments inevitable.
