In a democratic society there are two main systems used to vote. The US uses a two-party voting system whereas many European countries such as Spain use a multi-party voting system. The question of which system is better seems to be split amongst society. Some people believe a two-party system is the most efficient system whereas others believe a multi-party system is better.
