A political system includes the activities used by a nation to govern and includes structures and processes. The history and culture play a prominent role and it is influenced by the demographics of the nation’s residents.
Political Participation varies from wide to narrow. Participation in the political process occurs when people voice opinions, vote and generally show approval or disapproval of the political system. Wide participation occurs when large numbers of people who are capable of influencing the political system make an effort to do so. Narrow participation occurs when few people participate in the process.
A political ideology is a set of ideals or principles on how power should be allocated in a nation. Political ideologies are concerned with how society should be organized and the best form of government to deploy: democracy versus autocracy. It is also concerned with the best economic system: capitalism versus socialism. Ideologies are often represented on a political spectrum: left, right and center.

Here are the different types of Political Ideologies:
1.Totalitarianism doctrine adheres to the belief that people’s lives must be controlled in order for a political system to be effective. Individual leaders govern without wide-spread support of the nations residents and government officials do not tolerate opposing viewpoints.
“Totalitarian governments share three features: imposed authority, lack of constitutional guarantees, and restricted participation. This can take various forms:
1. Theocratic totalitarianism where the political system is under the control of totalitarian religious leaders.
2. Secular totalitarianism where the political system is based upon military and bureaucratic power.
Anarchism is the belief that only individuals and private groups should control a nation’s political activities.
Pluralism is the belief that private and public groups belong in politics.
A representative democracy is a political system where government leaders are elected directly by the wide participation of the people. This type of democracy strives for freedom of expression as well as civil and property rights.
Capitalism adheres to the belief that “ownership of the means of production belongs in the hands of individuals and private businesses.” Pearson IB Test

It is used to: (1) protect an industry for ideological reasons, (2) save local jobs in an ailing industry, (3) control industry profits, and (4) invest in industries that private companies cannot afford.
