Absolutely change the system. It's been a problem for a long time. However the current system is what we have for this election, so unless you know a magic way to use a different voting system for this election and not FPTP then there really are only two choices. If they both suck to you, then pick the one that has potential for change from public pressure, and by all means vote in more progressive choices if possible for the lower representation because that's where the real change can happen.

It would be great if the anti-FPTP rallying would last past the election. People seem to get so overwhelmed by the voting propaganda that once they cast their vote they want to forget about it for four years, and that's why we keep having these same discussions every time when it's too late to fix the problem.
