1. Third party

   In a two-party system of politics, the term third party is sometimes applied to a party other than the two dominant ones. While technically the term is limited to the third largest party or third oldest party, it is common shorthand for any smaller party. For instance, in the United Kingdom a third party is a national political party other than the Conservatives and Labour which has a member in the House of Commons. It is currently generally used for the Liberal Democrats. While in Scotland the dominant parliamentary party is currently the Scottish National Party with the Labour party the next largest party and the Conservative party third. So it would follow that in different countries within the UK there are many different third parties. In the United States of America, there have been numerous "third parties", but the term is most often used in contemporary politics to refer to the Libertarian Party. The term "third parties" is used mostly in countries with first past the post electoral systems, as those systems tend to create a two-party system, so that successful smaller parties are rare. Countries using proportional representation give little advantage to the largest two parties, so they tend to elect many parties. Therefore, in those countries, three, four, or more political parties are usually elected to legislatures. Consequently, coalitions, including some smaller parties, are common in the legislatures of such countries. The public in those countries tend to see all parties as being in the same category because most parties have a fair chance to participate in government if a coalition is formed after the election. This is in contrast to the idea in two-party countries that there are major parties, which are "serious", and there are other parties, which are to be ignored, scorned, or blamed because they are far less likely to participate in forming a government.
