      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.

      anyway, my point is this "but bad things have happened elsewhere" tact only serves to normalise the bad things

      I could say the same about UK first-past-the-post elections.

          we held a referendum about it, and the campaign was awful

          again, this really feels like "Trump is awful because…" "Yeah well people are dying in Africa so bend the knee"

          what is going on here. Electoral College != Trump. UK FPTP != Africa.

          "Trump is awful" - Yep. No argument from me. No caveats here.

          the issue isn't with the popular vote, it's the electors not doing their job / being constrained and picked

          the issue is with the structure of how our President is selected. Same as L+LD=52, get Cameron as PM

          Many in the UK agree electoral system is broken, though still low awareness of countries w a + working one
