UK Voting System

[KeithD]

Just so everyone understands in simple terms. If the results of the election are:
1. Tory - 31%
2. LibDem - 30%
3. Labour - 29%

Then Labour are technically the winners.

Got that? Good ..... You haven't? Well don't worry, neither do the newsreaders on Sky, most folk on the other channels, and about 99% of the public.

It's so simple to understand though. Here are a few examples of democracy.
1. Hamas won a clear majority, so were not recognised as winners by the West.
2. Isreali's election winners are not in power.
3. If each vote in the US counted for 1 vote, then George Bush would not have won his first election.

.... and we go to war to spread this around the world

Don't say that, Dedworth will blow a fuse.
