Detailed Solution

An Alliance is when several parties in a multiparty system join for the purpose of contesting elections and winning power. Democracy works on the principle of the majority. The party that gains the majority of the votes forms the government. But in a multiparty system, it is difficult for a single party to get the majority. So to resolve this challenge, different parties come together to ally to gain enough votes/ majority to form the government.
