You're correct about the election system. Because we use a winner-take-all first-past-the-post (who came up with that name?) system, any vote for a third party weakens the position of whichever of the two main parties you would've otherwise voted for, and has an impossibly small chance to elect your chosen candidate, so it basically just works against your own interests.
