A multiparty system is normally associated with proportional representation.
Proportional representation can lead to the fragmentation of political parties, as it allows smaller parties to gain representation. This can require parties to form coalitions in order to govern, leading to more complex party structures. Additionally, parties may need to broaden their appeal to attract a wider range of voters in order to secure enough seats in a proportional voting system.

The proportional representation system is most beneficial for third party candidates. Examples of other systems include the majority system, and the plurality system.
Proportional representation is an electoral system in which the number of seats a political party wins in an election is proportional to the number of votes it receives. This system ensures that the share of seats a party holds accurately reflects the support it has among the electorate. It is designed to provide fair representation for a diverse range of viewpoints in government.
Proportional representation is an electoral system in which the distribution of seats corresponds closely with the proportion of votes received by each political party or candidate.

Proportional representation
Proportional representation is a style of electoral system where the outcomes depends only on the proportion of votes an alternative receives and not its geographic distribution. In a system where the winners are the ones who receives the most votes, it is not always representative of the opinions of the people. So say there were many constituencies and 3 parties and each party ran some candidates in each constituency and there was one seat in each constituency. Say then that one party got 40% in each constituency, another 35% and another 25%. In a system where one candidate wins, the party that got 40% of the votes in each constituency would win every seat. Yet, 60% of the people would have voted against them. Obviously that party getting 100% of the seats where the majority of people did not vote for them, is not fair. In a proportional representation system, there would be more than one seat in each constituency and then all parties would have a chance of winning seats, so the final results would be proportional to the way people voted.
