- newswasboring 4y agoNo we are heading to a one party system. But that has nothing to do with first past the post. There are several historical and social reasons for that.
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoI'm sorry to hear that. No one wants to live under a one-party system.
- digging 4y ago> But that has nothing to do with first past the post. You could be right, but how do we know the polarizing effect of FPTP isn't contributing to this change?
- newswasboring 3y agoEverything is contributing to it. Our dietary preference contribute to this more than the FPTP system. My country is going through a dark period, and the way our elections are held has very little to do with it.
- int_19h 4y agoThat FPTP results in a long-term two-party equilibrium (that may be occasionally disrupted) is not exactly a secret: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duverger%27s_law And in some cases, at least, FPTP itself is deliberately introduced by large parties to reduce the viability of their competitors. Northern Ireland was one particularly nasty case of that.
