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

Because we don't vote nationally. Never have done. We vote for our
representative for our area, just as we have for centuries since
parliament became democratically voted-for.


Therein lies the problem.

I don't really care who my MP is. I care more about who's running the
country.

I do accept that people like having a local man to who they can write,
but clearly we do have a very broken arsed voting system and we need
to find a better one.

The voters felt otherwise.

I do not know why they voted that way - the AV at least does away with
"wasted vote" syndrome.

Yes, but the voters decided that they didnt want it.

It does not change the fact that a system that gives the seats vs votes
above is broken.

Any voting system has advantages and disadvantages.

The voters decided which one they want.
