    Third parties under the First Past the Post voting system are literally the threat to the power structure that will just keep them pushed down by the major parties.

    The major parties may be afraid of sharing power now, but they are also seeing the threat of losing power completely when they can’t keep their coalitions together.

    We see Democrats making a major move today with Biden stepping down from the race in order to placate parts of the party that are very unsatisfied. The threat is already more real today than it has ever been.

    I think that people will realize that we are all in alignment about reforming the election system being better for the country, even to preserve a large part of the current power structure.
