Definición

  • A TWO-PARTY SYSTEM is found in democracies such as Great Britain and the United States, where only two parties gain the vast majority of votes and offices at all levels of government. Two-party systems are rare outside Great Britain and former British colonies; they are typically associated with a relatively simple cleavage structure and single-member district plurality elections.
