And yet:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2015/results

Ordered by share of the votes

Party Vote share Seats
Cons 36.9% 331
Lab 30.4% 232
UKIP 12.6% 1
LibDem 7.9% 8


And tell me again why we still used this broken arsed voting system?

Because it produces a clear winner usually.

Why not cut out the middle man - and just have a dictator?

And clear winners are held to be better than endless coalitions.

Even if 12.6% of the electorate get 0.15% representation?
