Why not? New parties replacing established parties does happen now and again in various countries. Recent example: 358 city/municipal councilors, 4 mayors, incl. mayor of Prague, etc. by the Czech Pirate Party (founded 2009).
Even more often than that established parties tend to revise their positions when a new party threatens them, essentially trying to absorb some of their viewpoints and votes. Recent example: various right wing parties like the German AFD (founded 2013) or UK's UKIP have been hugely influential.
Either way it means voters are heard in some way.
Now you might be talking from experience about some specific country, but in that case it would be helpful of you to mention which one.
