  • Here's a quiz from 538. Is it a bar in Brooklyn or a UK electoral district?

    If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

    • UKIP with 1! could they pass the LibDems? And it's confirmed. UKIP will outpoll the Lib Democrats.

                • And on that mark, seat number 5 for the liberal democrats. I personally think it's amazing they have as many seats as percentage of the vote.

                            • The voting system in the UK is ****ed up:



                              UKIP here has over 2 million votes counted but only 1 seat. SNP has 1.4 million and 54 seats. You can make a similar criticism of the US system (and I would probably largely agree with the critique*) but it's plainly obvious that the multi-party politics displayed in this election basically can't work without a system that is proportional like Israel's.

                              *I doubt there has ever been or will ever be a US election that shows such a ridiculous disparity between voting and outcomes. This is plainly undemocratic.
                              If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

                              • UKIP here has over 2 million votes counted but only 1 seat. SNP has 1.4 million and 48 seats.

                                PR is doom for conservative parties. Sure, UKIP might get a few more seats, but they'd never form government again. Better for UKIP to do the hard work, as Labor did to destroy the Lib-Dems under first past the post.

                                Now the UKIP is a credible party with greater than 10 percent. This was a great election for them if the Cons form a majority government.

                                What more can you expect from a party that started from a base of just one percent last election? Winning takes time. Becoming the third largest party comes with considerable clout.
