What Kind of Party System?

Summary/Abstract: This is an article that tries to reevaluate the problem of the Romanian political parties system. All calculi show that it may be labeled as “multiparty, with dominant party.” But given that the Romanian system presents strong peculiarities compared with those of stable democracies, we have to say rather that we have closer to a “bipolar multiparty system.” In fact, our system is biased by “the coalition flaw,” which seems to be characteristic for all systems raised in the wake of communist systems, so that we can say that the classic typologies of the occidental countries are not adequate for the Eastern ones.
