In the UK, the dispute over the one-seat constituencies – Polish Radio

Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP and the Greens Natalie Beckett took part in the post-election discussions in a makeshift open-air BBC TV studio on the lawn in front of Parliament.
Beckett and Farage, do not agree on almost any political issue, but one question – how is it possible that the Scottish National Party has collected one and a half million votes and won 56 seats in the House of Commons? Meanwhile, the parties have lost one send, although UKIP and the Greens voted for a total of 5,000,000 voters. – This is a bankrupt system simply does not work – described the one-seat, majority electoral law Nigel Farage. He advocates a system of two votes – on specific MPs in single-member districts and on party lists. – Germany have this system for years and permanent coalition governments, but, nobody will say that they have bad governments – he added.
Natalie Beckett called for nationwide discussion on the functioning of democracy and parliament. – People are very disappointed with the system that forces them to vote for the lesser of two evils. In Parliament, nothing has changed since women got the right to vote in 1918. And it will soon be one hundred years – said the British leader of the Green Party.

 

The one-seat constituencies shall mean the majority. In each district there is one winner – he wins a mandate, and votes for other candidates who have won fewer votes do not count in the allocation of seats. In the proportional system while all votes cast for candidates are translated into seats if an election committee exceeded the electoral threshold.
