What is Bipartisanism?

Bipartisanism is a political system where all political activities of a state are run by two major parties and rest of the parties carry less importance. It doesn’t mean that in a Bi-party system there is only two parties in a state and there is not any existence of third party. There can be many parties in this system but the main role is played by two major parties who oppose neck to neck one another in every election

As example we may give a glance on UK and U.S.A. . Both of these countries are going through in this process or system. In UK there are Conservative party, Labour party, Liberal party, Communist and Fascist party. But in the field of politics Labour party and Conservative party are important. The form of Government is interchanged between these parties. Sometimes Conservative party and other times Labour party. In the House of Commons the Liberal party has a few seats but no seat has been obtained by Fascist and Communist party.

The same view is in U.S.A also. Politics of U.S.A. is run by two major parties named as Democratic party and Republican party . Others do not have any importance in the politics.

In every country who has Bipartisanism system it is a common scene that power passes from one party to the other and society gets a little bit worse with each election. There is not any variation in internal activates of a country. From two parties, one another come to form a government always by and by and they become the policy maker and ruler of the country. People just participate in the election by casting their vote only.
