Many European countries have proportional voting systems instead of single-member district voting. That makes it easier for smaller parties to grow. Proportional voting and single-member district voting are both very flawed systems though. Germany (and Austria?) combines both systems where 50% of the vote comes via single-member districs and the other half is via proportional voting.
