As a non-Brit, I watch what's happening like it's a slow motion car wreck.
France has 2 round parliamentary elections.
Throughout France, Marine Lepen candidates won 35% to 40% of the votes in the first round. They qualified for the second round. Luckily, in the second round, citizens rallied against Lepen candidates, voting for whoever was their opponent.
What will happen if Nigel Farage gets 35% or 40% 😲? You don't have a second round...
If France used the FPTP voting system, Marine Lepen would be ruling the country with a huge majority in Parliament.
That's cool. They tricked a transferable voting system into thinking it was fptp. But we can't just copy the French, this is England. The racists would never accept it.
