[[Libertarian]]s often support the emergence of a multiparty system through [[proportional representation]], although such systems also have the potential to give power to far-left, far-right, and [[authoritarian]] parties that may be more [[statist]] in some respects than the [[centrist]] parties. In a multiparty system, a minor party can become a kingmaker and extract concessions from the major parties that need the minor party's support in order to exercise majority power in the legislature.{{Fact}}
