The ‘Yes to Fairer Votes’ campaign has issued a new video highlighting how the first-past-the-vote system can turn an epic fail into a win, with MPs elected with less than 30% of the popular vote:
(Also available on YouTube here.)
It’s good, though for my money the best video the campaign’s produced so far is definitely Ralph’s Story:

As others said, misleading and I think ironic as the only MP to get elected in 2010 with less than 30% was a LD I believe.
