    The vote allocation system was very purposefully mathematically designed for exactly this outcome.

    More than once I’ve read in The Guardian some columnist or other justifying Britains voting system (also First Past The Post, like the US), which for example will give absolute parliamentary majorities on a mere 34% of the vote, as being a good thing because it brings “stability”.

    You know what’s “stable” - swamps.
