Usually this is where I would make a long winded comment on replacing First-past-the-post voting with a voting system that allows more then two parties to exist without a spoiler effect… but that time has long since passed us by.
Germany and New Zealand both have a Mixed Member Proportional voting system but centre right coalition governments with a strong far-right influence currently hold the majority in both those countries. Things would undoubtedly be worse with FPTP, but proportional voting is not a magic bullet either.

Good luck out there yall.

Nothing is stopping either party from implementing that, if they care to do so. So I guess some pressure to do so would be nice.
So you’ve got nothing, got it.
