The mathematical models of election systems don't work in a way that allows any kind of stable 3-party system to develop from a 2-party system.

I know that's easy to say but difficult to understand (even if you do "get" the math involved). In any case, it would be far more probable and profitable to the efforts of anyone wishing for another voice in the system to hijack the faltering place of an existing party.
