A "majoritarian system" in electoral politics is a type of electoral system where the candidate or party that receives the majority of votes is declared the winner. This system tends to favor a two-party structure, as smaller parties struggle to gain representation. Majoritarian systems can lead to more decisive governance, as the winning party often has a clear mandate. However, critics argue that such systems can marginalize minority voices and reduce political diversity, impacting the representation of varied interests within the electorate.
