Q85 (IAS/1996) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice › Political party system Answer Verified

‘ Which one of the following countries has more or less evolved a two-party system ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2: Bangladesh.

In the context of South Asian politics, Bangladesh has historically evolved into a de facto two-party system, dominated by two major political forces: the Bangladesh Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). Since the restoration of democracy in 1991, power has primarily alternated between these two parties or coalitions led by them, creating a polarized bipolar political landscape.

  • Sri Lanka: Traditionally multi-party, often requiring complex coalitions among various ethnic and ideological groups.
  • Pakistan: Characterized by a fragmented multi-party system with significant regional players (PTI, PML-N, PPP) and periods of military intervention.
  • Myanmar: Has struggled with military rule (Junta) and lacks a stable, evolved democratic party system.

Therefore, among the given choices, Bangladesh most closely fits the description of an evolved two-party system where two dominant parties define the national electoral competition.
