But before you do that, or before you do something silly like painting your Facebook black, watch this simple video on the "FPTP" system, something that those people don't want you to know: UK 2010 Election, Conservative Party got 36% votes but won 47% of the seats. Labour Party got 29% votes but 40% seats. Liberal Democrats got 23% votes but only 9% seats. Independent managed 12% votes but 4% seats. This is democracy under First-Past-The-Post system. In 2011, a referendum to reform the electoral system was shot down, First-Past-The-Post system remained. See the results of that referendum h e r e.
