Biparty

/baɪˈpɑrti/ noun or adjective

Definition

A system with two distinct political parties, or involving both parties equally; another term for a two-party political system.

Etymology

From bi- (two) + party (political organization). This is a simpler, more direct formation than 'bipartisan,' combining the two root words without the -san suffix.

Kelly Says

Most stable democracies are biparty systems—the U.S., U.K., and Australia all thrive with mainly two major parties competing for power!
