I don't believe that third partiers do a good enough job of encouraging people to vote against other parties and people seem to be generally more interested in voting against than voting for.
But there is also the whole money thing and that's a gigantic barrier.
In Canada, there are five parties represented in our Parliament. The governing Liberals are in a minority position.
After the speaker resigned in disgrace last month, the members from all parties voted unanimously to elect the Prime Minister's nominee for a new speaker.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Tom Emmer or Mike Johnson will be the next Speaker of the House.
Great prediction MW!

Moot point now. Johnson has the votes.
I correctly predicted either Emmer or Johnson would be next speaker.

We have all the lousy aspects of a parliamentary system and none of the benefits.

Matt Gaetz and Steve Bannon have called the new speaker “MAGA Mike Johnson”. Enough said.
The GOP lost their ass and found their Johnson.
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Johnson is another election denier, just like those who went to prison for insurrection and those in Georgia going to prison for trying to imped democracy.
Let's hope this move will lose the Republicans the house next year.
