Which system is more likely to result in coalition governments?
A. First Past the Post
B. Proportional Representation

Answer (2)

Proportional Representation is more likely to lead to coalition governments by allowing multiple parties to gain legislative seats based on their overall vote share. This contrasts with First Past the Post systems, which typically favor single-party majorities. Military Rule and Absolute Monarchy do not involve elections, thus discouraging coalition formations. ;

Proportional Representation is the electoral system more likely to lead to coalition governments by allowing multiple parties to gain seats based on their vote share. In contrast, First Past the Post typically results in a majority for one party, while Military Rule and Absolute Monarchy do not involve electoral competition. Therefore, the chosen option is B. Proportional Representation.
