Hello,

In this month newsletter particulary in the following passage
i think that as long as the political party has the most winners that means that they are most popular and has
the right to ba the ruling party so what is the point here,
do you agree with me ?

In the General Election we have the chance to choose all the members of parliament in the different areas or «constituencies« in which we live. In many countries there are various methods of choosing a candidate to vote for but here in the UK the system is popularly called «first past the post» — a comparison with a horse race where the one in front is the winner. In the election the candidate who has the most votes is the one who is elected to parliament and however many votes the other candidates have doesn't matter. So you can end up with the «anomaly» — unusual situation — where the political party that has the most 'winners' and goes on to form the next government might not have as many votes in total across the country as another political party that didn't get as many 'winners'.

Thank.

Hi Nazeih,

Could you please tell us what exactly you are trying to say?
I'm sure you have an interesting point to make - let's take it step by step, OK? What country and what party are you referring to?
Thanks in advance,
Torsten
