Third parties don't necessarily have to raise themselves to the prominance of something like the main two parties to have an influence. All they need is an important, relevant issue to make part of their platform. From there, they have enough influence to split the vote and endorse whichever party seems to be leaning closer to their stand on said issue. If the issue is important enough, I suppose this third party can one day blossom into a major third party but I don't see anything like that really happening right now.
