The madness of FPTP

PregnancyAnyone who hasn't already worked discover that our First Past The Post (FPTP) voting grouping is nuts and indefensible should look at the projected results that the post-debate YouGov poll would produce on a uniform domestic swing:Con 33% - 254 seatsLD 30% - 101 seatsLab 28% - 263 seatsSo Labour would get most way despite coming third on the favourite vote! Even a advocator Labour supporter same me can wager that isn't a sustainable essential position.As the threesome parties are so close together in the polls, let's hit a look at the results if they were flipped round:Lab 33% - 351 seatsLD 30% - 99 seatsCon 28% - 169 seatsi.e. an increased Labour majority on 3% less of the vote.Or:Lab 33% - 334 seatsCon 30% - 196 seatsLD 28% - 89 seatsOr:Con 33% - 245 seatsLab 30% - 289 seatsLD 28% - 84 seatsOrLD 33% - 127 seatsCon 30% - 215 seatsLab 28% - 276 seats- the largest band gets small way and the smallest the most!This isn't an electoral grouping it's a lottery.Pregnancy info
