The two party System is more a consequence of first past the post than the system they are voted into.
If you look at Canada as an example in the last 30 years the parties on the right have amalgamated and have been rewarded for it as the vote splitting on the left is what gets them elected. It's just a matter of time until the left follow suit and then ๐ two party system.
Yeah, I agree. FPTP is a horrible system that will inevitably lead to this kind of situation.
