Not impossible but it going to take awhile.  I think UK culturally closest to USA and if they had the same system we had I truly believe they would only have 2 parties also.  There system give power to third parties in minority in helping form government our system don't so at least there if you vote for a liberal third party in UK for example you at least have hope they be able to influence the labor party.  Similar to USA it been I think around 100 years since there been a prime minister in UK that was not from  Labour or Conservative party.

Even in Japan post WW2 with the exception of 1993-1996 they also only had prime minsters from 2 parties Liberal Democratic and Democratic parties.

Prime Ministers is a harder call. I talk about parliament, because they (also in the US) make the laws. The smaller parties usually don't set the head of government, but they influence (and sometimes their pure existence influences) the laws that are made. Nothing really keeps the US from electing third-party candidates to the house, except the weird legend that it will not work.

House in theory I agree there no reason third parties should not be viable.  Truthfully most the time when I vote there not even a third party as a option on the ballad even if I wanted to vote third party.  My guess this goes to another major issue with USA elections they extremely expensive and without a major party backing you it difficult to raise the money needed unless you already famous or have lot of name recognition already.  We seen independents win but 3rd parties seem rare in USA.  I think a lot of other countries have spending limits with campaigns and stricter rules about how money is spent which might explain why it easier in other countries.
