No they aren't.  People in most countries are willing to change their
government if it isn't doing a good job.  Parties can go from major to
not even official party status in a single election.  The US seems to
have gotten stuck with the idea that there are only two parties, and
nothing else can ever have a chance. Of course as long as nobody thinks
anything else has a chance they won't vote for anything else, which is
just silly.  A lot of countries have so many parties that you can't ever
get a single party with a majority, they have to form coalitions of 5 or
6 parties to form a majority to govern.  I believe the 2 party systems
is one of the biggest flaws of the US.
