Another consequence of the two-party system is that whereas minor parties are likely to identify themselves with special interests or special programs and thus take extreme positions, the major parties are so large that they tend to be moderate.

两党制的另一个后果是，虽然小党可能认同自己的特殊利益或特殊计划，从而采取极端立场，但大党规模太大，往往是温和的。
