11. In a democratic system, the political party that serves as a watchdog over the government is determined by various factors such as its role as the opposition party, public perception of its accountability, and the effectiveness of its oversight mechanisms.

12. Single-issue parties are different from splinter parties in that single-issue parties focus on advocating for a specific cause or policy, such as environmental protection or gun control, without having a comprehensive platform on other issues. On the other hand, splinter parties are formed when a faction breaks away from a major political party due to disagreements over various aspects of the party's ideology, leadership, or direction. Splinter parties often have a broader range of policy positions beyond a single issue.
