Majoritarian system

A majoritarian system is an electoral process where the candidate or party with the most votes wins, typically in single-member districts. It emphasizes clear outcomes by awarding victory to the candidate gaining the highest number of votes, even if not an absolute majority. This system often leads to strong, stable government but may underrepresent smaller parties or diverse opinions, as votes for losing candidates typically do not influence the result. It's common in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, prioritizing simplicity and decisive outcomes over proportional representation.
