What is another word for one party systems?
Pronunciation: [wˈɒn pˈɑːti sˈɪstəmz] (IPA) 
One party systems are often referred to as single-party systems or monoparty systems. In these political systems, only one political party is legally allowed to govern and hold power. This style of governance is sometimes described as autocratic or dictatorial since it has the potential to stifle political opposition and dissent. Another term for one party systems is hegemonic party systems, as the ruling party is typically dominant and may suppress or co-opt potential challengers. This type of political system is typically associated with authoritarian governments and can result in limited political representation, a lack of checks and balances, and reduced political accountability.
