![Since plurality is adopted in single-member districts, each district poll may
be taken as an isolated election. This is the reason why one should not assume
that the effects of Duverger’s third law are applicable to a whole country.
Duverger indeed recognised exceptions to his third law in order to justify, for
instance, the Canadian multi-party system at that time. He said that ‘it [that
is, plurality] tends to the creation of a two-party system inside the individual
constituency; but the parties opposed may be different in different areas of
the country’ (Duverger 1954: 223). Duverger never volunteered to change the
phrasing of his law. Justifying his reasons for not doing so, he stated that ‘the
increased centralization of organization within the parties and the consequent
tendency to see political problems from the wider, national standpoint tend of
themselves to project on the entire country the localised two-party system
brought about by the ballot procedure; however, the true effect of the simple-
majority system is limited to local bipartism’ (Duverger 1954: 223). In other
words, he admitted regional limits to the relationship between plurality and
two-party systems; and understood that the tendency for polarisation would
become uniform nationwide. Therefore, for this reason, there was no point in
changing his law.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sr4j625dt5zlxcjmsb4famny/bafkreihxaipn3dknopklvzvbuunvgu6s5wpssfmzvwxmag4abnvvupbun4)
