All parties are here are electoral funding systems that don't do much other than raise money for candidates and spend money on candidates. But with a two party system you can never have that because there are more ideologies than just two.

And yes, there are more than there are parties in many European countries, but more parties are able to better represent the variety of ideologies.

Yes. The "logic" of  two-party system is just different.

Also, in the parliamentary system, votes for 3rd or 4th or 5th parties are not wasted if their representatives get some legislative seats for their votes.

Another advantage is that political issues get discussed in greater depth and from more angles.
