It isn't that different in this country with the election of MPs. If you're in a constituency where you party is third, your vote is effectively meaningless/wasted. We had a chance to change it in the PR referendum early in the coalition Govt., however the 2 big parties clubbed together to convince us that each persons vote being equal was a terrible idea.
