Many former two party countries have managed to elect third, fourth and fifth+ parties, usually once the voters are sick enough of being forced to vote for the lesser evil every cycle.
I don’t know which examples you are thinking of, but I would bet that is after changes in the law or without an explicit constitutional procedure on voting.
As far as voting for the lesser evil, that is beyond naive. Every election is voting for the leaser evil. If you expect to find a candidate you agree with 100%, you will be waiting til the heat death of the universe.
