Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Third parties historically struggle to gain significant electoral traction within the United States due to the country's use of plurality, winner-takes-all, single member districts. Third parties often find it difficult to win enough votes to win an election outright and are frequently accused of 'spoiling' an election by drawing votes away from one of the two major parties. While there may be examples of third parties having success under proportional representation systems, proportional, winner-take-all systems, or multi-member districts with proportional representation, the US has historically not utilized these types of systems.
