    Right wing parties won’t do better don’t vote for them.

    And no you can never move things closer to a multiparty system by voting for one of the two party system candidates. They benefit from that system why would they give up their power like that?

      Sorry, but vote splitting categorically is a thing. You can say “they won’t do better”, but on a fundamental level that just is how FPTP systems work. I don’t like it, you don’t like it, but here we are.

      As a counterpoint, my country had a direct referendum on voting reform a while back. So yes, you absolutely can change a two party system by voting for one of the two parties.
