Anyway I am not saying it wasn't "easy to understand", I am saying that only 7% more people voted Labour yet the seat distribution is unevenly favors them.
It may be fine if you voted for the winner, but it's pretty demoralizing if your voted for the Liberal Democrats and your vote just never bloody matters

Surely it's voter distribution which favors the two main parties.
Hmm, didn't someone recently say they lost out because more voters from a different party turned out, now, who was that?
Personally, I'd prefer the Tory idea of equal population constituencies and keep FPTP.
Why should people be forced to vote for candidates they don't want?
Incidently, for the prior 3 elections, the Tories haven't won, yet I, and them, are not calling for PR.
