First-past-the-post voting system !!!
Ronnie I think the result of that election was really unfair.
Quentin Why do you say that ?
Ronnie Well, there were three candidates and the total votes the two losers got were more than the winning candidate received.
Quentin But he did get more votes than either of them got individually.
Ronnie Maybe, but this first-past-the-post voting system is not genuinely democratic because someone can win without getting an absolute majority of the votes.
Quentin Well, a proportional representation system would solve that problem.
Explanation :
 
First-past-the-post - Using a voting system in which a person is elected by obtaining more votes than anyone else in the area that they want to represent, whether or not their political party obtains more votes than any other party in the whole of the country
 
 

 

On the verge of bankruptcy

We slept through our alarm

Things look pretty pricey

These things are name brands

All messed up

You'll see the light

Have a one-track mind

Put you out

Get decked out

Keep up with

I'm beat

Get a load of that

Brain freeze

When it comes to haggling

It seems to be catching on

I'm up for that

I'll pass
