Sure, both sides are not the same. But the "good" side is still part of the system that allows the "bad" side to exist.

So by all means, vote for the party that will do less damage in the short term. But oppose FPTP voting at the same time.

But that cannot happen within the current system lest you allow the Republicans to win. Change must be forced onto the system.
