That's what people thought here too. The last election ended with a hung parliament (neither side could form government) . The Labor party did a deal with the Greens (for whom I voted) and the independents and formed government. Not sure if that's possible under the US system.
"Protests votes" have a long history here,which was the purpose of me voting Green. I once voted for the tiny "Nuclear Disarmament Party". The bloke I voted for got in,which scared the crap out of the government and led to some policy changes. The leader of that party later sold out and was absorbed into the Labor party. His name is Peter Garrett, erstwhile front man for the top band, "Midnight Oil". Coincidentally Peter is also a chronic "big C" Christian. (a lot of noise but no music)
