Two-party systems limit political representation by narrowing the choices available to voters, often marginalizing diverse viewpoints. In such systems, parties frequently adopt a broad range of policies to attract a wide electorate, resulting in a lack of distinctive options. This environment can discourage third parties from emerging, diminishing representation for specific interests and ideologies. Consequently, voters may feel compelled to support candidates lacking in alignment with their values, leading to political discontent and a potential decrease in overall electoral participation.
