BWM -- You know as well as I do that we have a constituency system, which precludes the actual %age of votes cast for any specific party being relevant: it means that the # of members representing parties in Parliament is what counts. A referendum of one-voter-one-vote recently approved of continuing this system and decisively rejected the adoption of any alternative system whereby actual %age of votes would determine the ruling assembly. You know this perfectly well, so stop being disingenuous. No system is perfect; but the present one is the one which has recently been democratically approved by a considerable majority of the electorate.
So, like I said:- Live with it. Or try elsewhere where they might have a system which better conforms to your notions: if you can find one.
