The lesser of two evils principle, also referred to as the lesser evil principle and lesser-evilism, is the principle that when faced with selecting from two immoral options, the least immoral one should be chosen. The principle is sometimes recalled in reference to binary political choices in democratic voting under a two party system. The lesser evil of two front-runners beats the least evil among many choices, since "minor party candidates can be spoilers in elections by taking away enough votes from a major party candidate to influence the outcome without winning."
