A new political party, who wins, who loses?

The 2014 test didn’t disappoint, except there were only three parties instead of four. The experiment of the four was expected to work like a miracle. Domkrag’s successive triumph in 11 elections was likely to be halted. Coalitions, basically target vote-splitting  not enhancement of the democratic quality. The  First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) electoral system is the bane of credible election outcomes. The tendency towards a predominantly two-party democracy system that we observe in the United Kingdom and the United States is a product of an elimination process that narrows down democratic choices. 

After more than 50 years of one-party rule, the public, opposition parties concurring, have lurched onto the concept of ‘two-party’ system to relieve the monotony of a one-horse race. Multiparty democratic concept remains valid albeit slow in alternating parties; when we have mushrooming of new parties, we should self-backslap for holding on to the multiparty tradition.
