Instant run-off voting would be a major requirement for any third party to be successful on a nationwide level IMO. One of the biggest obstacles third parties face is "wasted vote syndrome" or the "lesser of two evils" choice. Voters know that third party candidates are not going to win so they see no reason to vote for them. IRV allows you to make the third party choice without the dilemma of wasting your vote.
