That's one of the fundemantal flaws in our system. If you don't like either of the parties you are pretty much left out of the system. While in a Parliamentary system, like the have in the U.K., Canada, Australia, there is a multitude of different parties, so if you don't like the two major parties you could always vote for a third party and chances are you could get members of that party elected in parliament and thus have your voices heard. When there is a minority goverment in a parliamentary system it forces the ruling party to compromise with the smaller parties to get bills passed in the parliament. So there is a greater representation of minority parties.

Remember every vote counts in Florida. If our guy wins Florida then he is going to easily become the next President!
