Jacky @jacky3344.bsky.social · 30/09/2026So how come proportional representation has done such a great job in countries all round the world? Even in N Ireland? And if you REALLY think FPTP has delivered anything but consistent decline in the UK since 2010, you're not even worth answering. 200
Jacky @jacky3344.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If you want to list examples where particular elections make systems look silly, try these: An electoral system that delivers a significant majority in Parliament to a party that got just a third of the votes cast (2024) cannot call itself democratic.
