Third parties face several challenges in elections, including limited visibility, funding disparities, and systemic biases within the electoral framework. Established parties often dominate media coverage and political discourse, making it difficult for third parties to gain traction. Moreover, electoral rules favor larger parties through mechanisms like winner-takes-all systems, which can discourage potential voters from supporting third-party candidates. Additionally, funding can be scarce, hindering campaign efforts and outreach. These challenges contribute to a political environment where third parties struggle to achieve meaningful representation.
