The main advantage of having a two-party system versus a more fragmented one is the simplicity of forming and maintaining a government One big disadvantage is that there are more than two political views in this vast country.

Another is that the parties have more power than individual politicians who were voted by the people

Answer:

Advantages : simplicity of electoral process, easy understanding of political information( political agenda ), political stability

Disadvantages : voters limitation, promotes corruption, alternative voices are ignored

Step-by-step explanation:

having a two party system ultimately has more advantages than disadvantages in some ways because it brings about political stability which every government like to establish for themselves and in order to achieve political stability minor aggressive parties are removed from the scene. it also makes the electoral process simple because the more the parties the more complex the electoral process becomes although the voters choice is limited and also two party system promotes corruption because alternative voices who are supposed to criticize the government is ignored
