The Party System and Coalition Politics are important topics in political science and are frequently asked in competitive exams like JKSSB and SSC. A party system explains how political parties are organised and function in a country, such as one-party, two-party, or multi-party systems. Coalition politics refers to a situation where two or more political parties come together to form a government. In this form of government, there is no single party that has the majority of votes in the elections. In India, coalition governments have played a major role in strengthening democracy, representation, and power-sharing. Understanding this topic helps candidates answer MCQs related to elections, governance, and democratic systems easily.
