- belltaco 5y agoThere are dozens of countries if not more that have a FPTP system but have multiple viable parties.
- rich_sasha 5y agoAre there? UK notionally comes up as an example, but it really isn’t. There are 5-10 parties in the House of Commons, but only two that count for anything in terms of seat count. Which is quite damning to the idea of the “Union” btw, the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland have their own parties that get a large proportion of available seats, and they are still nonexistent on national politics.
