Editing Two-party system (section)

=== United Kingdom ===
In countries such as [[Politics of the United Kingdom|Britain]], two major parties which have strong influence emerge and tend to elect most of the candidates, but a multitude of lesser parties exist with varying degrees of influence, and sometimes these lesser parties are able to elect officials who participate in the legislature. In political systems based on the [[Westminster system]], which is a particular style of [[Parliamentary system|parliamentary democracy]] based on the British model and found in many [[British Commonwealth|Commonwealth]] countries, a majority party will form the [[government]] and the minority party will form the [[opposition (politics)|opposition]], and coalitions of lesser parties are possible; in the rare circumstance in which neither party is the majority, a [[hung parliament]] arises. Sometimes these systems are described as ''two-party systems'', but they are usually referred to as ''multi-party'' systems or a ''two-party plus'' system. There is not always a sharp boundary between a two-party system and a multi-party system.
