    Just mention an alternative and you’ll will quickly understand why.

    The parties have done the most amazing job in pretending the world will end at every election if they are not chosen.

      Is that a 3rd option in a first past the post system?

      Hmmmm… what could be the issue there I wonder.

          There is absolutely an issue with first past the post voting systems. And frankly I think you know what the problems are.

            That people are so desperate to keep it in place.

            FTFP is never going go away if you keep voting for it lol.

                  You’ve already got one response to this which is correct. I want to add to it to help explain how FPTP voting systems result in a 2 party system and simply voting for another party does not solve the issue.

                  But first you’re either aware of the problem and want to encourage people to vote third party while pretending not to know how the system works or you’re actually just ignorant to the issue.

                  I don’t normally like video links in discussions like this but this one is especially good and is only 6.5 mins.

                    Your video does not explain how voting Democrat is going to fix the FTFP system.

                    People that don’t understand politics have a better understanding than people that have been frog-boiled into voting for a Genocidal Geriatric.
