So they get some attention, and then they either fade out or take over. Either way, we're back where we started. The problem isn't that third parties don't get enough attention, the problem is that the way the electoral system is designed, there can only be two significant parties. You might change the names of those two parties, but that won't really do much.

In the case of the green party, it's part of their platform to do away with FPTP voting, so potentially no, we wouldn't be back where we started.
