    The UK's first-past-the-post electoral system can result in representation deficits. In the 2015 election, an SNP MP only needed an average of 26,000 votes to be elected while UKIP received over 4 million votes but only secured one seat in Westminster. The table shows that the Conservatives and Labour, who together received over 66% of the popular vote, secured over 80% of the seats despite other parties receiving millions of votes each.

    Representation deficit

    The UKs first-past-the-post system throws up some unusual results,


    and has led some people to question just how representative it really is.
    An SNP MP needed on average just 26,000 votes to be elected; nearly
    4 million people voted UKIP, which only has one seat at Westminster.
