Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The impact of third parties like the Reform Party or the Green Party suggests that the US has a two-plus party system, meaning that while the two major parties (Democrats and Republicans) dominate, there are still other smaller parties that can have an impact on elections and politics. This is different from a dominant party system (one party dominates), an inchoate party system (lack of clear political parties), or a minority party system (third parties have little to no impact).
