The issue is that voting for third parties doesn't make third parties viable in first-past-the-post systems. I, for example, would love if my country had a diverse parliament, but I continue to vote for the saner major party in my constituency because if votes are split between them and the party I'd really like to be in power, then neither of them will be.

Tactical voting is the symptom of two party systems, not the cause.
