For example why are there two major parties? What makes two such a magic number in our current system. It’s the constraints. Primarily it is the voting method of 1st past the post. This constraint works to eliminate 3rd parties by moving them to the spoiler category. As long as this spoiler factor is in place two will remain a magic number.

You want to change our system then you need to change the constraints. That’s why I think that if you really want change, we need to institute some form of ranked choice balloting. That way we eliminate the spoiler effect and independents will have a choice to vote other than “against the party in power.” Which of course means the other “major” party since voting 3rd party is a vote for the status quo.
