A political system is the set of formal institutions and practices that define a government's structure, and there are several options. In a monarchy, a single person runs the government. This is especially true in an absolute monarchy, where the monarch has absolute power.
Political parties represent broad points of view â or ideologies â that present people with alternative approaches to how the government should be run. Each party seeks political power by electing people to office so that its positions and philosophy become public policy.
