lol no I know that. I voted for the first time last year (eventually, I couldnt find the entrance to my local polling station for about half an hour).

This is about how we actually elect them though.

Electoral Reform Society - Alternative Vote

Quote:
If no candidate gains a majority on first preferences, then the second-preference votes of the candidate who finished last on the first count are redistributed. This process is repeated until someone gets over 50 per cent.
That bit makes not one bit of sense to me.
