Ideological extremism can severely affect inter-party relations by fostering an environment of hostility and mistrust. When elements within political parties adopt extreme positions, the likelihood of bipartisanship diminishes, leading to gridlock in governance. Extremist views can alienate moderates, polarizing parties even further and making compromise challenging. This politicization can manifest in aggressive rhetoric and strategies aimed at undermining opponents rather than focusing on policy solutions. As a result, ideological extremism not only stifles collaborative efforts but also contributes to growing disillusionment among the electorate regarding the effectiveness of political institutions.
