Which party system is followed in India?

The correct answer is Multi-Party.

Key Points

• Many European nations, including India, have multiple  political parties.
• A multiparty system in politics denotes the presence of multiple parties.
• In a multiparty democracy, a coalition government is formed by a number of parties who agree on a minimum plan for  governance.
• There are two sorts of multiparty systems: functional and  unstable.
• The worst example of an unstable party system is what  happened in India between 1996 and 1998.
• Even though there are more than two main political parties, the functioning multi-party system functions more like a two-party system and so tends to give stability to the administration.
