Well, one reason not one nation has copied the 2-party system is that it is easy for two parties to do some mutual spin. Much more difficult with 3-4 major parties and some smaller ones, somebody can be trusted to take a chance to profit from ending that spin. Basic anti-trust and anti-monopoly thing, basic rules of competition, especially when combined with a somewhat "open" and "transparent" system. However, when only two possibilites, spinning is nothing but a mutual joy for both. To stick to angloamerican sources, for example "Gulliver's Travels" to funny 2-party systems, and later on Orwell in terms of the "evil enemy" in fashion. That is, there is a lot of different groups on the UN "gravy train". However, some are obviously only trusting some higher true force, or at least quote him or her for personal strength.. (old local saying, "but who drives the train", to point out above issues among the passengers)
