The problem with First-past the post is that, if there're three candidates in an election, where one scores 40% of the vote, and the other's score 30 each, the FPP system ignores the fact that 60% of people voted against the winner.
The addition of 'single issue' parties can be a problem, at the same time it also leads to diversions from mainstream politics and gives important issues a chance to get into power. It makes going into politics and actually doing something viable on a small scale, rather thn just being borged into one of the larger parties and loosing all semblance of what you set out to achieve, just to get ahead and get in that seat.
