The system creates the safe seats. The fact the majority do not even think about how they vote, just the same old choice election after election, is it any wonder people are turned off politics. NI Vote using a form of PR, so they at least have a genuine vote.

Last election 57% of Cornwall did not vote Tory, but ended up with 100% Tory MPs.
It took fewer votes to elect one SNP MP than to elect a DUP MP.

68.4% of votes cast in 2017 had no impact on the outcome.

That is why the system is broken.
