Question

How do winner take all voting districts serve as a structural barrier to third-party and independent candidate success?

Answer 1

Answer:

The winner-take-all voting districts serve as a structural barrier to third-party and independent candidate success as the larger political parties incorporate the agendas of the third-parties and independent candidates with their own agendas.

Explanation:

• The agendas taken up by third-party or independent candidates majorly speak about local issues concerning the local populations.
• These issues are devised by the candidates of larger political parties and are included in their own agendas. This act of the larger political parties serves as a structural hindrance in the success of other small parties and independent candidates.
