Current Party System and Election

The current party system promotes democracy as compared to what could have been if there was only one party. The creation of opposition assists in pushing the government into addressing crucial issues that may defame them. The third party system provides an opposition party that is against the two main parties and thus, it is easier to push the two parties to address the public concern. The U.S. election is normally dominated by 2 parties. However, there always three or more parties in the system. The third party normally takes the votes that could have been given to the winning party and thus making the election competition stiffer. This also impacts the election results. Minority parties also shifts the public attention to crucial matters affecting the society.
