I think the next Scottish election could well show how ridiculous a first past the post system could potentially be. Commentators are suggesting that it is possible that the SNP may well win every single constituency seat. If it was FPTP then that would leave them with every single member of the Scottish Parliament. This would clearly be absurd as about 50% of Scots say they will vote for someone other than SNP. The Scottish system is far from perfect but it means that the parliament will actually end up much more balanced than that!
