Here's Question No. 12 (It's a Short-Answer Concept question.):

Would you expect to find more catch-all parties or more ideological parties in a regime that had an electoral system in which pluralities were all that was necessary for victory?

What about a plurality system would encourage the kind of party you expect to find?

What is a real-world example of a party of the type you'd expect to find? Does the regime in that country have a plurality electoral system? (4 point question)
