Correct Answer: (4) At present coalition or alliance form of parties have narrowed the process of elections and competitive political space.

Solution:The politics of alliance has had a number of consequences for the nature of party politics. The competitive political space has been widened with greater number of political parties having a bearing on power politics. Rather than one party hegemonizing power (as in case of pre- 1967 level of politics), or even two or three parties making serious claims on political power, there are a number of political parties which enter the political arena.

As part of the one or the other alliance structure, these numerous political parties have a serious stake in the process of elections and in the formation of government. Politics of alliance, therefore, has its direct consequence on the nature of government. Governance is based upon a wider dispersal of power among the alliance partners.
