Q

2 Party system

A

First, there might be 6 parties to vote for, so you would vote for the party that represents you the most, however, after a while of your party getting in and you feeling unrepresented. The party you like may pull out. This could also happen to parties who either don’t get many votes or aren’t getting into parliament. Then you are left with 2 big parties who always battle it out to see who will get in this time
