That's not FPTP.
Australia uses Single Transferable Vote, which is exactly what the OP said they wanted.
It's currently the best voting system we know of, because you can vote the way you get biscuits - my favourite are dark chocolate hobnobs, if I can't have those then dark or milk chocolate digestives. Plain hobnobs will do if there's no chocolate at all.
FPTP forces a two party system where the everyone has to vote against the party they're scared of, never for the representative they actually want.
Depending on how the two parties choose candidates, FPTP means you either end up with the choice between bland and extremist, or two almost indistinguishable forms of bland.
