British Electoral System

The British Electoral System, primarily used for parliamentary elections, employs the "First Past the Post" method. Voters in each constituency choose one candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins. The party with the majority of constituency wins usually forms the government. Different elections, like local or devolved assemblies, may use other systems such as proportional representation. Overall, the system aims to translate votes into parliamentary seats, ensuring geographic representation, but it can result in mismatches between overall vote share and the number of seats each party receives.
