Fucking electoral system. They've had the largest increase in the vote share since 2010.

Your vote share means nothing if it isn't sufficiently concentrated in a certain district/constituency.
I mean, it's kind of hilarious how they have 3 million+ votes... and one seat.GG

You know I dislike UKIP, but it's bullshit how they only get one seat. It's also bullshit how the SNP has 5% of all voters and gets 54 seats. We really need to get rid of FPTP.

We really need to get rid of FPTP.A quick comparison between the US and UK is sort of funny honestly.The UK has 1 representative in House of Commons for every 97,203 people.While the US has 1 representative in the House of Representatives for every 709,760 people.So the UK has 7.3 times more representatives per person than the US.No, that's just percentages based on population size. There aren't actually 7 more representatives in government.

It has nothing to do with how represented anybody is.
