Weighing Things Up

[poliphilo]

This is the Tunbridge Wells constituency. In 2010 the Conservatives took 56% of the vote. It's a safe seat for them and always has been. Opposition is provided by the Lib Dems who took 25% last time round. Labour doesn't have the ghost of a chance.

So my vote isn't going to change anything. It'll be nothing but a protest vote.  And so I think I might as well go with what I really believe- and vote Green.

Why is there, from what I can see, virtually zero discussion of even attempting to end the wretched FPTP system in the US? I remain quite perplexed.

Probably because we don't know what FPTP means.

First past the post, winner takes all. Versus proportional representation, et al.
