What Happens When You Have a Lot of Parties?

In France and Germany, the far right wing party is broken off from the mainstream right wing party. And I think it's because of this that they're like the edges of get honed off because of the existence of this far right party. It doesn't have the same reflex action of creating a similar thing on the left that's just as viable. The only example I think would be Sariza in Greece who got into office but then was a failure.
