The 3rd conditional

"FPTP [voting system] did not protect parliament from the influence of a single-issue party – a party [UKIP] that would have exposed itself as reckless, had a more representative voting system bared just a few of its so-called high-flyers to the scrutiny that comes with a seat in parliament." (The Guardian.)

Is the subordinate clause the third conditional in the above?
