Thus the call to become something else; become being the operative word, meaning to change from what they currently are.

You guys really need a third party already.

The issue is that we have third parties, but because of our first-past-the-post system their candidates act as spoilers mathematically speaking.

I live in a nation with more then two party's and first past the post (it sucks). You guys need to stop making up reasons to not have viable 3rd parties.

It's not made up, it's math. And if your nation doesn't enact systemic change to its system, your democracy will inevitably trend towards two viable political parties as well. edit: typo
