Yes!
It's often pointed out that the majority of the people never vote for the UK government - usually something like 37% will get you in. Our preferences system gets around that a bit, but effectively gives some people 2 votes which goes against the democratic notion of 'one man (or woman since the 20 century), one vote'. Nothing's perfect in politics, eh?
Anyone else as excited as I am about the dead heat election?
Love it!!

Carpe Diem!
