Summary/Abstract: After the 2004 general elections, the Romanian party system has shown a dominant trend towards what analysts called “bipolarity.” Whether this is the case or not – it’s rather to be mooted, for we have two criteria: the party and the alliance –, for the moment one can say that we have fewer political parties, and the system can be labeled as “multiparty, with dominant party.” But yet we don’t have a stable situation in this domain, for we need a stable and coherent power, which can do a pragmatic opposition, ensuring the alternation.
