in order to
have
a
multi-party system,
more
than
one
political
party
must
participate
in
elections
and
play
a
role
in
government.
a multi-party system
allows
for
opposition
to
the
party,
which
wins
the
election.
this
helps
provide
the
government
with
different
viewpoints
on
issues.
additionally,
a multi-party system
provides
voters
with
a
choice
of
candidates,
parties
and
policies
to
vote
for.
historically,
when
a
country
only
has
one
party,
the
result
has
been
a
dictatorship.
