Yeah it seems some people don't pay attention to the rest of the world when it comes to trivial issues like politics, law, education and healthcare. In Australia we have two major parties, Labor and Liberal. Then the Greens who sway a lot of decisions one way. And the Nationals who go another way. Then a few more representing across the spectrum ideas. They're all still absolute dickheads but some are better than others and I think, looking outward, that it's working better than a two party solution.
It should be noted that whenever examples are brought up of third-party viability, the voting system referenced is almost certainly not FPTP.
