In the UK, like many western democracies, the winning party only needs the support of just over 1/3 of the voters to win. This makes it pretty easy to "buy" votes- just think about Trump and Maggie for two very good (bad?) examples? It also works exactly the same for the left by the way.

Having known someone who worked in Switzerland for a while, they seem to be very different from "us" in the UK. They seem to be very "responsible" in general in a great many ways. One thing many people do not know about them is the very large number of military firearms held by ordinary citizens, yet the rate of gun crime (and many other crimes) is very low.

@freespeechisneverwrong9351 They already work for the highest bidder! We need less tv channels rather than more as it is getting like the US where virtually every channel shows the same rubbish with endless adverts. I am not sure what the answer is, but I would prefer a regulated BBC with 3 or 4 channels covering different audiences topics to endless rubbish like in the US.

The old joke about voting not making any difference otherwise the Civil Service would have banned it years ago seems to be even more true these days!

@Gunni1972 Thanks for the explanation of how the system works- just what is needed.
