''The British Party System'' (1944) is a "playlet" by George Bernard Shaw satirically analysing the origins of the party system in British politics in the form of a pair of conversations between scheming power-brokers at various points in history, who devise it and adapt it to suit their personal ends. ==Creation== The playlet appears in Chapter III of Shaw's 1944 book ''Everybody's Political What's What?''. It was never intended for performance, and is rather an essay in the form of a mini play. A similar previous playlet ''Arthur and the Acetone'' had been written in 1936 about the Balfour declaration. Shaw introduces the playlet with as comment about how party politics came into being: "What are the facts? Let me put them in the form of a little historical drama, as that comes easiest to me and is the most amusing."〔Shaw, Bernard, ''Complete Plays: With Prefaces'', Volume: 5., "Dodd, Mead", New York, 1963 p.819.〕 He then goes on to explore the significance of party politics.
