Re the first bit, it is because we don't have proportional representation. Which as I understand it means that big constituencies have a higher number of votes but still only represent one seat, so in theory there could be lots of UKIP votes but if the UKIP candidate doesn't win the seat in that constituency they achieve nothing.Re: Politics - Smolitics .........

Re: Politics - Smolitics .........
I don't understand why, in the general election, we can't vote for a party that hasn't got an MP in your constituency, we're voting for the governing party not local (at least I think that's what happens). Why can't all the parties form a government together, that would stop all the stupid arguments in PMQ's. and then they could spend valuable time & hot air sorting things out! Then we could vote for a prime minister separately, the best man for the job.Re: Politics - Smolitics .........
