That would still be a massive improvement. Unfortunately, the more likely outcome with our current voting system is to split the vote of whichever party they're aligned more closely with, and cause the other party to win.

We desperately need either approval voting or Condorcet voting, so that people can express a meaningful preference for a third party.
