ⓘ First past the post system Les élections législatives britanniques ne comportant qu'un seul tour, c'est le candidat qui remporte le plus de suffrages (sans obtenir nécessairement 50% des voix) qui est élu député. Ce système encourage donc le vote ‘utile’ qui favorise les deux grands partis, travaillistes ( Labour) et conservateurs ( Conservative). Les libéraux-démocrates ( Liberal Democrats), avec une moyenne de 25% des voix, n'obtiennent que 3 ou 4% des sièges à la Chambre des communes. ⇒ House of Commons -
