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:

Mark beat you to it though on his post “Voting experts unanimously reject first past the post” 😀
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.
Where in life can you lose but still win?
