Nevertheless, there is an argument that the use of the traditional first-past the post system is unfair because many votes get wasted and therefore, votes for parties outside the main two or three are of an unequal value.

This also leads to tactical voting, as votes vote against the candidate that they dislike and not for who they prefer.
