I'm sorry I had no idea what FPTP meant until just this minute. (see below) I have no idea why we use this system. Are there other systems that work better? Does it really make any difference in the long run? A few miles from here is a multi-million dollar state of the art CBC broadcasting facility. I can't remember the last time I listened to or watched a CBC program and since I never vote I'm not concerned with election hijinks. Is Michael Jackson a Canadian politician? "The British electoral system is based on the "First-Past-The-Post" (FPTP) system. In recent years, reforms have occurred in places such as Northern Ireland where a form of proportional representation has been used in elections and in the devolution elections surrounding Scotland and Wales. However, for the most part, Britain has used the tried and tested FPTP system." historylearningsite.co.uk
