Multiparty political systems are found in many countries that have
parliamentary governments. Countries with multiple parties in
clude
Belgium, Denmark, France, Italy, Japan, and Sri Lanka. Most multiparty
countries have four or five major parties and, in addition to these,
there may be many minority parties. In most cases, each of these
political parties has particular economic or social goals. Multiparty
systems vary from country to country. Most multiparty systems consist of
a few left-wing parties, which hold liberal or radical views, some
center parties, which have moderate views, and a few right-wing parties,
which support conservative views. In multiparty countries, one party
seldom wins enough seats in the legislature to form a majority.
Therefore, two or more of the parties will join forces and form a
coalition government to direct the nation's affairs. Often the coalition
parties fail to agree on policies and programs because of the
differences in their political beliefs; therefore, the government
ultimately falls. In the United States, the system of government is
considered a two-party system, where the checks and balances of each
party against each other is fairly even; the one party will win some
legislative gains, and then the other will. The multiparty system is not
as simplified as that. The multiparty system tends to produce a less
stable government than does the two-party system.
