Maintaining multi-party system

Description:

Permitting the organization of different mutually exclusive groups to represent different political perspectives, and the creation of adequate mechanisms to allow them to compete for ruling positions in government.

Claim:

The toleration or provision for political pluralism is simply a recognition that in human intellectual and behavioural nature there will always be conflicting political ideas. The accommodation of this fact in the legal structure of government is a bulwark in the defence of individual freedom of speech.

Counter Claim:

A multi-party system institutionalizes differences among perspectives keeping dead ideas alive and only slowly adding on new ones.
