Many voting systems require a party to pass a voting threshold to get any seats. Imagine a threshold of 5%, and 10 parties each winning 4% of the vote, with one party winning 40% and another winning 20% (4% x 10 + 40% + 20%): votes for those 10 parties get discarded any you generally have 2:1 for the two winning parties, with one having 66.6% of the seats yet only winning 40% of the votes (something like that happened in Serbia ~10 years ago).
