My opinion regarding the Republican party is consistent with the above statement and gerrymandering was a key part of building a party system that incentivized the same sort of bad behaviour that an MPP system incentivizes just within the Republican Party instead of as a fringe party acting autonomously.
Canada has mostly solved the gerrymandering problem and where geography makes solving it impossible the strong party system makes MPs that want to act irresponsibly accountable to a party that has battles to win in other places that make their positions untenable.
I am open to some examples of fringe parties that have made significant positive contributions to the status quo, I would like to see some examples that are of more significance than the negative effects pseudo-fascist parties rising Europe have had.
