This was the share of votes earier this year.
Party %
CON 36.9
LAB 30.4
UKIP 12.6
LD 7.9
SNP 4.7
GRN 3.8
UKIP were hardly a political party a little while ago, next time they may do better. We will get a referendum on EU membership.
We the people are forcing the change.
All it needs is the people to vote for the best candidate for their interests. And ignore the propaganda of vote for me and I will make it all better.

US has sucky voting system (the same as you) incorporated into their society and the result is that they can pretty much only spin two parties at a time. AKA they could change the two parties, but there would still be just two parties in any practical sense.
UK has the same sucky voting system, but it works much better in UK. Though it would be best to abandon that system altogether. You can see that the list using that system is not very flattering ("third world countries" those have been more or less under UK influence.. and US and Canada).
