So in a two party FPTP system, what is the answer?

I don’t expect miracles, I just hope they will be less crap than the current lot in power

You are correct: you can see, as evidence, what the Tories have done in 13 years in power. The list of failures is so long I won't even attempt to start listing them. You have to be very naïve to want more of what they have done. The only other option is Labour as that is what our current system dictates.
To assume that Labour would be a worse choice than continuing with the current Government when you have no real evidence to back it up, is just denial of how much damage has occurred in the last 13 years.
Remember, the Tories only every had a two point plan for power:
1. Make money for their sponsors/donors/voter base
2. Stay in Power
