    That’s false as the votes for parties other than the big 2 in the riding are wasted. First-past-the-post often has parties winning all the power with 40% of the vote.

      That’s not what you said the first time, which is why I asked for clarification. Maybe you meant, “the system represents 95% of the voters” because the votes are all totaled therefore represented? I was wondering if you were implying that some votes don’t count in the current system.

        I think he means 95% of the votes result in representation in Parliament.
