👉 An asthenie is a type of political system in which one or more parties hold power but do not control all government institutions, such as the judiciary and legislative bodies. In this system, the government is not accountable to the people, and there is no check on the power of the ruling party. Examples of asthenies include those where two or three major parties have control over both the executive and legislative branches of government, or where a single party has control over only one branch of government.
