| Ka-pi96 said: It absolutely does! For starters some UK constituencies are smaller than others, considering each seat has the same value in parliament those votes from smaller constituencies are then worth more since they need less votes to get elected. Plus every vote over the minimum needed (and any for any party other than the winner) don't really count. If you live in a safe seat area (which I do) then your vote is quite literally worthless since not only is the same party going to win every time but any extra votes they get or any closer the other parties get doesn't make the slightest bit of difference. |
That still doesn't mean that it's undemocratic ...
Just because power allocation breakdown by region is unequal doesn't mean that every vote does NOT have the same power in that specific election!
Don't think of the allocated power en masse, just think about single elections ...
