Eh, when most of the contests are between two parties, and you can pretty much predict the outcomes of most of the elections before they happen, you pretty much have a two party system. At least when you have other candidates and parties added into the mix, you have an added element of mystery, even if that element is only "I wonder what candidate the minor party voters will choose." There is very little mystery or wonder right now.
especially considering "civic renewal" is pretty much just an appendage of the federalists
