- defrost 4y agoIt's a poor law that doesn't have exceptions; in this case the exceptions are many other countries in the G20 .. eg: Australia, three major parties, numerous minor parties and at any time in the past several decades there has been sitting houses with members from more than two parties. I guess that puts a ding in "mathematically impossible" (given the stability of the Australian political system for 100+ years).
