Why Does the Multiparty System of Parliamentary Democracies Lead to Less

question 6

Multiple Choice

Why does the multiparty system of parliamentary democracies lead to less gridlock than the American model?

• A)The multiparty system allows for multiple parties to form coalitions. These coalitions incentivize the parties to cooperate more than the divisiveness of a two-party system because each individual party must compete for votes, lending platforms more tailored to the needs of the people.
• B)The multiparty approach does not lend itself to gridlock because it addresses smaller issues than the American model.
• C)The multiparty system allows for a more diverse approach to issues than the two-party system present in the American model.
• D)The parliamentary model has more voter access through primarily single-issue parties in comparison to the American model with two opposing broad-based parties.
• E)The multiparty model leads to coalitions of minority groups that eventually lead to a two-party system, whereas the American model has two opposing parties that check the other's power.
