It does suffer from it.
We are a two party system. It's just one of them has suffered such a catastrophic loss in vote share that it looks like there's three main parties.
It's extremely regional. In most of England it's Labour vs Tories. In some southern areas it's Lib Dem vs Tories. In Scotland mostly the SNP vie with Labour for control. Northern Ireland is DUP (Tory aligned, but we only remembered they existed when they had to prop the Tories up) vs Sinn Fein. Wales is mostly Labour vs Tory with Plaid Cymru thrown in.
The minor parties are competitive in a handful of locations, so only Labour and Tories can actually win control.
