Sorry, I was thinking about general elections.

FPTP results in a two-party system, and that is not representative of the diversity of the population. Look at what a two party system delivered for our southern neighbours.

Except it's not resulting in a two party system.  If a party wants power it has to make compromises.  In the USA it's representative of their population as if a candidate isn't liked they get turfed out in primaries.  Perhaps that's incentive for people to get more involved at the grass roots level in nominating candidates that reflect their views
