⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that the First-Past-The-Post voting system allows a political party to gain an absolute majority with a minority of the votes⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

The Conservative government response to a 2016–17 parliamentary petition demanding proportional representation said that “A referendum on changing the voting system was held in 2011 and the public voted overwhelmingly in favour of keeping the FPTP system.”[209] Tim Ivorson of the electoral reform campaign group Make Votes Matter responded by quoting the petition’s text that “The UK has never had a say on PR. As David Cameron himself said, the AV referendum was on a system that is often less proportional than FPTP, so the rejection of AV could not possibly be a rejection of PR.”[210]
