I think that Jim is right it is more a criticism of the American political
system. In Britain we have effectively had a three party system since the late
19th century and have a few small parties and independent members of parliament.

You may be being confused with our class system where the majority of English
MPs have traditionally been educated at either Oxford or Cambridge.
