    I literally had to write an essay on different voting systems in middle school and realized even at like fourteen that first-past-the-post is an idiotic clearly undemocratic system

      Look no further than the discrepancy between # of votes vs. number of seats for Lib Dem vs. SNP

      We have exactly the same issue in Canada with NDP vs. Bloc . Parties with regional support are artificially propped up, whereas parties with diffuse national suppose get little to no recognition at all.
