That is not a fair system. At all.

Labour 29% spread across more constituencies = 258 seats
LibDems 23% spread across fewer constituencies = 57 seats.
Seems easy to understand to me.
If the LibDems were better at it they'd get more votes across the nation.
Interesting how despite the landslide against them in 97, the Tories didn't whinge about the voting system.
To quote Russ, the LDs need to "man up" and do better with the voting public.
