Why stop at three parties. We need like seven.
You would need to get rid of the "first past the pole" system anyway to allow for other parties to have an actual chance. As soon as that's done, more parties can easily be done.
But well, the people who would need to make that happen are the same people who currently benefit from the system as it is.
FYI it's first past the post, not pole.
Whoops. Thanks for the correction.
