Not only that, but it injects a bit of uncertainty into the system, a "spoiler" can make or break victory for a particular candidate forcing changes (good/bad) that would otherwise not happen.

Yep. You cannot realistically expect that every individual will find proper their views sufficiently representated in a biparty system. It's a stretch to call it democracy. I like our system in Canada; the parties represent their views but because the parliament is much more partitioned, politicians are striking deals with other parties rather than demonizing them and mud-slinging since the opposition can bring forth a vote of confidence and call an election at any time.
