Yeah, they're the non-vote parties. FPTP voting always devolves down to 2 parties, see Duverger's Law. Even if by some miracle a 3rd party wins (and continues winning) they will eventually kick one of the previous 2 parties out and take their place as the new party in the 2 party system. In practice if my memory doesn't fail me voting 3rd party hasn't mattered for over a century because the 2 main parties are so entrenched, so voting for 3rd party is more or less throwing away your vote.
