So then "sucking" means we deserve this? Voting isn't the answer if it doesn't fucking work. We need something other than first past the post before anything will change.

But MPs are dragging their feet on electoral reform because they're worried about job security. Just think: if smaller parties can gain traction through electoral reform, why vote Liberal or Conservative at all?

I dunno. I'm just sick of voting like it actually matters because it just doesn't, and the low participation numbers suggest that most people feel that way.

Coalitions. Look at Germany or other European countries. The winning side often forms Coalitions to stay in power. That means small and large parties can come together to beat the opposition and also have plenty of job opportunities.
