I'm not sure what your targets for the national level are. This sentence however sounds like 1) representatives of minor third party should not be elected, 2) the strongest party should win in each single-winner district, 3) the target is a political duopoly (in each district), 4) the political duopoly should just be more dynamic than today, which could mean that new parties may replace the current major parties when the small parties grow stronger than the old parties. These requirements reflect what I tried to achieve a while ago. I'm just wondering if that is also what you want.
