Agreed. But it is the only option available under the current system.

Only the two parties standing in your constituency, then?


In these days of tactical voting, if people are unhappy with the
ruling party, they vote to unseat the incumbent if he/she is a member
of the ruling party.

So there are basically two options; vote for the incumbent or vote for
whoever has the best chance of beating them.
