A two-party system simplifies elections and promotes stability but can limit voter choices and exclude alternative views. While it provides clearer distinctions between ideologies, it may lead to corruption and marginalization of smaller parties. Thus, it has both advantages and disadvantages depending on the perspective from which it is viewed.
