  • I like the French system. Each constituency is represented by one person who got a majority. In the UK you also get your own representative, but they could win with 20% of the vote if everyone else has less (First Past The Post)…so in the french system you have two rounds to make sure that a majority of people don’t end up represented by someone they despise.

    Proportional representation usually does not give you a representative, you have very little idea who your vote is electing after the first and second candidates…which is annoying when you look down the list and see these interloper nobodies who end up being someone’s cousin that nobody’s ever heard of and has never been seen in public.
