Partisan politics refers to political actions and policies that are influenced by allegiance to one party over shared interests or common goals. This division can create an environment of polarization, where compromise becomes challenging and party loyalty overshadows cooperation. Partisan politics often manifests in legislative gridlocks, as differing party ideologies clash. In extreme cases, this can erode public trust in government and diminish civic engagement. Addressing partisan politics requires fostering dialogue and collaboration across ideological lines to promote constructive governance and democratic resilience.
