What's "horrible" about it? It's a very simple negotiating tactic that even a toddler can understand. The difference is that we aren't throwing a fit because we didn't get some toy we wanted or something, we're throwing a fit because people are being murdered en masse before our eyes. If ever there was an appropriate time to throw a fit, that time is now.

Since our cause is correct and indisputably justified, the only thing that matters is whether the tactic is effective or not. And obviously it is effective, if the other side is being intransigent as they are, then "Do what we want, or else," packs a lot more punch than "Do what we want, pretty please?"

Well, if it didn't, then perhaps there's no way to get them to do what we want and in that case it is imperative that they be replaced as soon as possible, a goal that is also furthered by voting third party.

First Past The Post voting is a horrible concept.
