While this is likely, it is nearly impossible to get the people who are kept in power only by FPTP to vote against FPTP. The movement's goals seem somewhat more achievable. Also, we would hardly do worse by electing a Republican instead of a Democrat or a Democrat instead of a Republican.
- Sniffnoy 15y agoRangevoting.org had the interesting idea of trying to promote a non-FPTP system (in their case, range voting, obviously :P ) by convincing the major parties to use it in their primaries/caucauses. The idea I think being that using it for internal elections is something they (for now) stand to gain from, and since those are often truly multi-way contests there's no internal equivalents of the "major parties" who would (know that they could) benefit in the primaries from sticking to FPTP. I don't think they're really active anymore, but it remains the most plausible approach I've heard.
