Question

The party system suitable for forming a coalition government is __________.
A.Single party system
B.Bi-party system
C.Multi-party system
D.No party system

Answer 1

Hint: A coalition government is when two or more parties form a ‘coalition’ party by coming together. This usually happens when no single party wins the majority of seats in the parliament.

Complete answer step by step: India has a multi-party system. In this system, the government is usually formed by a coalition party i.e. when two or more parties combine and come together to win the elections by getting the majority of seats in the Assembly. When numerous political parties in a multi-party system, like India, join to contest elections and for winning the political power, it is usually called an alliance, or sometimes a front.
Option A. The Single Party system does not allow the formation of a coalition as there is only one political party functioning.
Option B. Bi-party system also does not allow the formation of a coalition government, as there are only two political parties.
Option C. Multi-party system is the most suitable for a coalition government.
Option D. No party system is the least suitable system for a coalition government.
The correct answer to this question is option C - Multi-party system.

Note: India has a multi-party system, unlike many other countries that are a democracy but usually have a two-party system or a one-party system, where the citizens are left with no choice. The USA is an example of a country with a two-party system.
