    first past the post voting is a broken system and that main party candidates should make more effort to fix this glaring hole in the voting system.

    The Democratic Party would rather lose to the Republican Party than change the rules to allow for a multi-party system.

    That aside, the major parties don’t want to reform the system they have because it’s worked very well for them. Our parties are incredibly old by world standards. The Democrats have been around since the 18th century, and the Republicans have been around since the 1850s.
