You are comparing potential with reality, this is exactly how it work in the current conditions, because this is how it is made to work, minor parties are still excluded by the election rules favouring major parties, it’s just not that blatantly undemocratic as US system.
This is in contrast to a two-party system, which has all the problems of a multiparty system but tacks on fun things like “doesn’t actually represent what people want, but tries to avoid what people don’t want.” In a two-party system, you vote people out rather than voting people in.
Funny that you mention it, because it is exactly like “multi” party system works too, ultimately you’re up to two candidates or two major parties and you vote for the one you hate less, with “electability” and all the major bullshit, and the two parties are almost everywhere where such systems exist, liberal and conservative. Just they are never able to form the government by themselves, so that’s why there is also secondary liberal and conservative parties around. Imagine the usual single capital party having not two wings but 3-5. And all of them only represent the capitalists and compradors.
