But ....if the top two piss everyone off so much, why don't people do something about it?
It infuriates me. It's like that episode of the Simpsons when the aliens take over the US election, and say, 'You have to vote for one us'

you've asked the key questionwhy don't people do something about it?
A. Because they can't, and being the 'lesser of two evils' platform, it boils down to voting against policies you hate less, to ensure that the policies you hate more don't get a chance to come to fruition.
If you look at the two main parties with reasonable objectivity over the past 25-30 years or so, look at how much further right Labour has swung, and how more open the Tories have tried to become to appeal to the 'middle voter'
