First past the post is the biggest problem in politics

First past the post means that two dominant parties will emerge which are immune from democracy in a sense that the other parties are not. The main two need only to beat each other but the smaller parties must compete against everyone else. This means the big parties have a significant advantage... to the extent that an oligarchy (consisting of the two main parties) is generally established. The two-party system cannot be broken by voters with fptp. All we can do is hope that whichever of the main parties wins is not too offensive... there is nothing we can do to prevent tyranny under this system. (Unless voters abandon both parties... and choose instead parties which insist on proportional representation.) You are part of the problem (as a voter) if you vote for a fptp-endorsing party. The main problem in politics has become the system itself which is first past the post.
