The three government systems majority, coalition and minority all have their own limitations and benefits. A majority system is a single party where only one member is elected out of a constituency; [a specified area of voters who elect a person to represent them legislatively] the most adequate person should be elected to represent the constituency.

Each successive type of government has inspired harsh debates and defenses about which is best to govern a body of people.
