Normally there is only a single party in a totalitarian system. Occasionally other parties are allowed, but they are usually controlled by the government or the primary political party.For example, in North Korea, which is a totalitarian dictatorship, three political parties exist:The Workers Party of KoreaThe Chondoist Chongu PartyThe Korean Social Democratic Party.The WPK is the largest party, and the party that rules the country. The other two are tiny and almost totally powerless- they are required by law to always accept the rulings of the WPK; the WPK even picks their candidates during elections. It's all basically "window dressing" so that North Korea can try to say that they are a democracy (even though they are absolutely not one).
