The winner-take-all system stymies the success of third parties on a national scale.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a winner-take-all system, the candidate with the most votes in a given district or state receives all of that district or state's representation in the government. This often leads to a situation where third parties, which do not have as much popular support but may have a dedicated base of voters, are unable to achieve representation at the national level. This can limit the diversity of viewpoints and reduce the ability of the government to address the concerns of all citizens.
