I agree, so this brings us back to the idea of proportional representation. At least that way some of the minor parties may get some MP's

PR was debated a few years ago but ultimately people prefer the first past the post system as it ensures the same parties will always get into power and once in power there is no great desire to change this ultimately unfair system.
