I don't think it's just that, I remember the "New Labour New Danger" campaign from when I was younger, very much two-party politics and it wasn't much better. The problem isn't the number of parties involved, the problem is most parties more eager to campaign against their opponents perceived weaknesses rather than their own strengths.

"Why should you vote for us? Umm... Err... Well I can certainly tell you why NOT to vote for any of the others!"

With the results seemingly being that none of them really bother building their own strengths in the first place... More concerned with slamming the others than convincing people with positives.
