I disagree, even with multiple parties there is always a Right vs Left battle - or better "If you don't think like me then you're the enemy".

If you're outside of those boxes you'll be attacked by both left and right wing people, to varying degrees.

I think it's an education problem, people don't understand the basics of politics or economics. They don't understand that Stalin and Hitler were both crazy authoritarians and not political opposites.

The political compass is quite biased in its questioning, but people are often surprised to hear there are more dimensions https://www.politicalcompass.org/

It's harder to blame someone of being "the enemy" when there is a half-dozen other parties on the other side.

Yes, there still are rivalries between left/right and authoritarian/liberal parties, but having options takes some of the edge off.


I've seen this happens several times, people just group all other parties as right or left and team up with parties on their side
