== Comparisons with other party systems ==
Unlike a [[One-party state|one-party system]] (or a [[dominant-party system]]), a manymulti-party system encourages the general [[constituency]] to form multiple distinct, officially recognized groups, generally called [[political party|political parties]]. Each party competes for votes from the [[suffrage|enfranchised]] constituents (those allowed to vote). A manymulti-party system prevents the leadership of a single party from controlling a single [[legislative]] chamber without challenge.
 
A system where only two parties have a realistic possibility of winning an election is called a two-party system. A system where only three parties have a ''realistic possibility'' of winning an election or forming a [[coalition government|coalition]] is sometimes called a "[[Third party (politics)|third-party]] system".{{Cn|date=July 2024}}
