    There are pretty much only 2 major countries in the world that still use FPTP system - UK and USA and both are FUBARed because of it.

        The last people's vote brought you Brexit. Be careful what you wish for.

            Do you have a problem with foreign-born people settling in the UK and pointing out, like some people born in the UK, there are issues with the parliamentary system? As you seem to.

              The USA federal system is more complex than the UK's parliamentary one.

              For the presidential elections they have the electoral college and each individual state decides how the votes are allocated.

              For the senate some states have runoffs e.g. Georgia.

              So their system isn't a true FPTP system.

                It’s inherently FPTP - in vast majority of states, and that’s ain’t changing there as too many vested interest in keeping it from both parties, at least UK got a chance upon rejoining EU to fix it

                  What about a foreign born Prime Minister?
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
