Bipartisan support refers to a political situation in which both of the two major political parties agree about all or many parts of a political choice. It is a situation where politicians from both parties work together to find common ground and compromise on issues. Bipartisanship is important in a two-party system like that of the United States because failure to attain bipartisan support can easily lead to gridlock, often angering each other and their constituencies. Bipartisanship can refer to any bill, act, resolution, or any other action of a political body in which both of the major political parties are in agreement. Compromises are called bipartisan if they reconcile the desires of both parties from an original version of legislation or other proposal. Bipartisanship is often referred to as "meeting in the middle" and is a solution-focused approach that creates a governance model with third-party arbiters used to detect bias. Bipartisan support is key to increasing legislative effectiveness.
