When I look at the UK for instance, which has real variety of parties, you see a parliamentary system with first-past-the-post voting.

- craftyguy 8y agoThat doesn't explain why the instant runoff system will result in a two party system..
- elicash 8y agoPlaces with IRV generally still have two major parties, even if weaker, like I said in the original comment. I'm just saying that how this normally plays out is you still end up with 2 major parties (though weaker).
- Sean1708 8y ago> which has real variety of parties We really don't, historically (for the last century or so) it's been pretty cut and dry between either Labour or Conservatives with the occasional coalition (always involving one of those two parties).
- elicash 8y agoHm, I must be mistaken then. Thanks!
