The more candidates there are the less I see unification under common principles which is a defect of the system and willful self-infliction of lack of credibility. Of course the candidate that polls at 2% says they speak for their 2%, usually a derivative of all other candidates also just speaking for their 2% which is leverage of wedge issues and failure of strong leadership. Of course the political environment and its dependencies offer many variables especially to stakeholders to the point that a particular candidate draws negatives in sectors by their policies.
