There's no mathematical reason why the two winning parties in FPTP have to be the same two parties forever. It is the media coverage that makes it so, and concerted voting for a single third party could make that party part of a new duopoly.

Sure, you're right about that. In fact, we may be in an era where that might be possible at the moment (probably in the next election though). However, when a third party is actually viable, you'll know it well before election day.
