I can't speak to the other countries but in the United States there are in fact more or less 2 political parties. It's a winner take all system which tends to drive that for good or ill. I wouldn't take too much from that. What if for example the Republican party changed it's name tomorrow to the Democracy party. Would anything change from that? No, not really - it's all the same people with the same ideas. The politics are all the same. Now, what if the politics changed. What if the people who actually voted for the Republicans changed? What if these different people had different ideas and different interests? In that case the name would be the same but the party would be different.
