      Australia changed from FPTP because a new conservative party split the conservative party vote.

      Just to clarify the Republicans didn't kill the Whigs. The Whig party imploded from internal conflict and the Republicans rose from the ashes. The Whigs and Republicans never really ran against each other. That being said the game theory modeling does point to a degeneration to a two party system over the long term in a FPTP system.

          No problem Comrade, the 'common knowledge' is that the Republicans killed the Whigs.
