The Marxist-Leninists won despite 2 other parties competing, for anyone unaware.
And what do you think happens next?
Those two parties won't keep slapfighting for an uneven split of 60% of the vote, while this third party takes power with 40% of the vote. They will merge. Or the smaller one will simply vanish, if its voters prefer the bigger loser to the plurality winner.
Even in the US, where plurality has a hideous repeated bottleneck on which two parties can meaningfully exist, we did not always have these two parties.
Good politics.
