What is another word for two-party system?

Pronunciation: [tˈuːpˈɑːti sˈɪstəm] (IPA)

A two-party system is a term that describes a political structure where two dominant parties hold power and control over the political landscape. However, there are other terms that can be used to describe this type of political system, such as a dual-party system, bipartisanship, and a binary system. A dual-party system implies that only two parties exist, while bipartisanship emphasizes political cooperation and compromise between the two major parties. A binary system refers to a system where one of two possible outcomes prevails, making it a fitting description for the two-party system, where the election is essentially won by either one of the two major parties.
