Lots of discussion currently about merits of third parties help or hinderance. We had anew major 3rd party thinh they scored 14% of vote if they were not there conservatives would have had a alndslide.
Let's say you have 3 candidates or Parties. And the vote fell as 40% for Party A,......... 35 % for Party B and 25 % for Party C. Many would say Party A is the clear winner with 40% where Party B has 35%, and Party C has 25%. BUT 60 % didn't want Party A, and so voted for one of either B or C.
But can be turned around , how are figures interpreted 75% didnt want party c and 65% didnt want b.Can of worms.
Winston Churchill is credited with saying about democracy in general, that it "... is the worst system there is......except for any other.."
