In a two party political system, political polarization is "the division of a country’s entire population into two diametrically opposed political camps."[1] In two party systems of political governance, political division is primarily driven by binary political ideologies and partisan political identities.[2]
However, some political scientists maintain that political division is mainly driven by other political dichotomies other than two party politics or right-wing vs. leftism such as religious vs. irreligious/nonreligious, nationalism vs. globalism, traditionalism against modernism, or rural against urban.[3]
Parliamentary systems of government can also have political polarization such as Euroskepticism vs. pro-European Union (See also: Brexit).[4] In Germany, the Green Party of Germany, which promotes environmentalism, has a significant amount of political influence due to their coalition with the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and in 2021 the Green Party captured 15% of the vote.[5] See: Conservation vs. environmentalism
