And today I learned about Duverger's Law. Thanks, Ben!
"At the most basic level, Duverger’s Law asserts that when a democracy uses a winner-take-all or first-past-the-post system, a two-party system is also likely to develop. In other words, when an election results in the victory of just one candidate, whether or not that candidate has earned the majority of the vote, two political parties are likely to dominate the political landscape."
