Weakness of the First Past The Post system is that it inheritly forces you to binarily vote for the 'lesser' evil. When the vote is determining "a shit sandwich for lunch, or a bubonic plage sandwich", it doesn't allow for a chicken suggestion, as that would split the Shit votes and let Plague win. So, the chicken sandwich voters must vote shit, because Shit at the end of the day is better than Plague.
Less and less people are going for the shitty option, which is both.
No matter what, they vote for eho they want.
Long term wins over short term.
