One party systems recruit new members, maintain party discipline, and carry out the party's orders.
The one-party system is not democratic at all, because there is no choice between competing parties and candidates. One-party systems are typical of communist governments and dictatorships.

One party systems are generally not democratic at all by definition, indeed they are the opposite to a democracy -- being Authoritarian states. Democracy is about choice; in one party states they have abolished the opposing parties meaning there is no choice and the one officially approved party rules the country as dictators.
Duverger's Party System Types refer to the classification of political party systems based on the electoral systems in place, as proposed by French political scientist Maurice Duverger. He identified three main types: single-party systems, where one party dominates; two-party systems, typically emerging from plurality voting (such as in the U.S.); and multi-party systems, which often arise from proportional representation. Duverger's theory suggests that the electoral system significantly influences the number and nature of political parties in a given country.
multi-party systems
introducing new ideas and/or press for a particular issue and often revolves around a political personality. (solpass.org) xD xD xD
Typically one party systems tend to consolidate power along a specific party philosophy that will exclude others of differing opinions and further not allow those excluded to go to another party. One party systems have some democratic aspects, rising through the party is often done with voting. However, the opinions of senior party leaders may have a very high level of influence on such votes. Specific party dogma eliminates opposing viewpoints quickly meaning that it is difficult for the party to adapt to changing environments and new technologies. Social Networks and the problem they bring to one-party regimes is a good example today. In the State of Texas in the United States of America there exists essentially a one-party situation. It is yet to be seen if the radical element of that party (called the Tea Party) can impose its agenda on the upcoming primary contests, particularly for the office of United States Senator.
