@vagabond. Thats exactly right!
People assume that voting for the major party they hate least is better than voting against both major parties (which seems to be just throwing your vote away). It will take a strong and charismatic third party leader to convince the people that a vote against both major parties isn't worthless.
Your democracy actually is somewhat broken in how biased it is towards your two ruling parties, a viable alternative is needed. I think a system more similar to the Westminster system actually works better in the end.
