Over here, we are not able to kick them out, but we can force a large number of unscrupulous bastards to get a consensus before passing law, hence gaining three years of legislation free politics. Currently I think we have a coalition of five unscrupulous bastards (and their parties)... there has been no new legislation so far this term :P

No, you are not FORCED to vote for only one of two. In some elections, from 3 to 5 choices are available, though many people default to the polemical model due to lack of imagination or crappy platforms chosen.
I've vorted for the odd libertarian here and there, and a few Greens.
Last election here in South Texas, five positions were run for unopposed! That's right, the Republicans didn't waste any money on even mounting an opposition to the Hispanic-Democratic precincts, and counties, currently being run by the entitlement/patronage network.
