Each party is given a number of seats roughly according to its proportion of the overall national votes, and that is how parliamentary systems are supposed to select MPs. We can say that the British election system is pretty much similar to the U.S. election system as the winner gets away with everything.

According to the present situation, the proportional representation (PR) system is one big thing to be admired by the British people, but with this factor in mind, the Liberal Democrats are going to reveal some sort of unexpected thing. People are expecting them to be at the third position, but that’s not like it.

Gene Murphy – guy from the polling booth, came out and spoke up that the elections follow those simple old school rules. Whoever scores the most, wins it and that’s all there is to it. So there’s no point in making assumptions and guesses before the results are out.

So the question is, in any case, do the British people want a change or not? According to Professor Van Der Ejik – the current voting system is not fair. There are trade-offs, if the people want a system in which a representative can be clearly related to the area he/she was chosen from? Or do you feel like going for a high degree of proportionality, where the citizens and their own representatives tend to be weaker?

All things aside, Tories don’t have to worry that much because they are leading by 35% to 37%, whereas, the Labour party is running second, with only a 28% to 29% progress. This leaves those Liberal Democrats way behind with only 26% and they need to cover a lot of space in order to make gains.
