Sorry but this is nothing like the 2015 election. Tories won with 36.9% because the other parties got even less (30.4%, 12.6%). Even with proportional representation they would have "won" and probably would have formed a majority coalition government with LibDems/UKIP and co.

I remember a time when constantly trying to shoehorn politics into completely unrelated online conversations was seen as a very American phenomenon. I'm starting to see more and more of it from my fellow Brits lately though. Sorry to drag the thread even further off topic...

You sound like a republican.

That is a very strange comment to make if you mean the Irish kind.

I think you'll appreciate this CGO Grey video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9rGX91rq5I. You're not wrong, but the system is nonetheless extremely misrepresentative.

If that is the case then I agree I was mistaken. However, in that case since neither party had a majority (in this case I mean 'a majority of the british public', not 'a majority in comparison to the other parties') a revote should have been had.
