Duverger's Law
politicalnotes.org
In political science, Duverger’s law holds that single-ballot plurality-rule elections (such as first past the post) structured within single-member districts tend to favor a two-party system.

    STAR or 3-2-1 voting are both much much better options than Approval Voting. Please advocate for one of those two rather than Approval or RCV. Yes, Approval is much better than RCV, but we’re only going to get one chance to change voting systems. If it goes wrong locales will switch back and never try again.

    Cool, now I can really strut my stuff. Whenever someone comments “first past the post is bad” or “2-party systems suck” I can reply “Duverger’s law!”
