As far as I know there is nothing in any constitution that states that a two-party system is inherently better than any other.

However people want to freely associate to express their political will, so be it.

There are plenty of different models around the world to choose from.

Supposedly our system is better because we have fewer laws and regulations. Supposedly this is the case because our polarized two-party system leads to gridlock.

If this is the case, then the Brits were already in trouble when they decided that their prime minister would be from the same party as the majority in parliament. That guarantees there will be no gridlock.

Maybe a three-party system in Britain will result in more gridlock and a brighter future for Britain. Only time will tell.

They’ll be more than three parties. You’ll see one or more the main parties begin to splinter, and unimportant fourth parties will start drawing voters.
