To bad the voting system in the Anglo-Saxon countries are favouring few strong parties. Not only does first past the post give a unrepresentative mandate, it also forces moderates and the political fringe together in unholy marriages.
One thing I think we do better in Scandinavia is having parties for all the libertarian nutters, the moderates, the conservatives, the fascists, the tree-huggers etc.

Our FPTP has always favoured the two big parties, but perhaps things are shifting. They have had no incentive to change to any proportional system as they could mostly win outright or by collaborating with a smaller party.
There is no perfect system, but it has been frustrating to feel my vote would do nothing. This time it may be different. I will at least stay up for the exit polls, but I will be asleep before all the results come out.
Yes, times they are a-changing for sure. Sadly because the Tories has ruined everything it seems to me.
There were some Tories who seemed fairly decent (e.g. Rory Stewart), but they were driven out over Brexit orthodoxy.
Brexit was (and is) a craze of the really crazy sorts.
