      Being in other countries & being asked why, even though Clinton got more votes, Trump won, really drives home how broken our "democracy" is.

      These results don't look like "conservative government" to me. Lots of countries have weird first-past-the-post systems. :(pic.twitter.com/9pvVXrQR1b

          I'm seeing a lot of people in the US using "but it's bad in other countries too" as some kind of justification

          there's no justification to a shitty system, but amnesia about UK having first-past-the-post does no good.

          just lots of people not in the US talking about the electoral college as uniquely bizarre.

          I didn't get that from @sarah_edo's tweet. Also, in the screenshot you showed, CON won the popular vote too.

          it won a (small) plurality, but the people clearly didn't want CON.

          if, in the US, the greens got 25% and dems 30% and GOP 35%, a conservative government would be mega-WAT.

          that's a weird comparison as the UK got a coalition government as a result.

          this is why I advocate proportional systems like ranked choice or instant runoff

          A proportional system like MMP (not IRV) gives a pretty representative legislature, which is stable-ish 1/

          But the advantage to a system with a clear winner (e.g., UK) is the winner gets to keep their promises 2/

          & then voters see (a) what those promises lead to, or (b) that they don't believe their own policies 3/3

          I think 1992, 2000, 2008, and 2016 (trifecta years) have this effect and they don't last long.

          yeah, it assumes rational actors. Which is not in evidence.

          Not to mention Cameron has since stepped down leaving us with an unelected prime minister for the second time in 10 years

          UK does not directly vote for the PM, so arguable all PMs are "unelected" / @wycats @sarah_edo
