Coincidentally the nations where Media barons wield most power have pretty much, a 'two party' political structure. Unsurprisingly both parties are beholden to those same media barons for their support.

Most European nation's political structure allows minor parties and independents to participate in loose knit coalition government. The result is a broad spectrum of opinion in Government.....and reduced influence on Government by major media outlets.
