Opposition Party: An opposition party is a political party that does not hold power but serves as an alternative to the dominant party. It provides checks and balances by offering different perspectives and challenging policies proposed by the dominant party.
One-party System: A one-party system is a type of political system where only one political party is allowed to exist or effectively operate. The dominant party in such systems controls all aspects of governance without significant competition from other parties.
Multi-party System: A multi-party system is a type of political system where multiple parties compete for power and representation. Unlike in a dominant-party system, no single party consistently holds power, leading to more diverse representation and potential coalition governments.
