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.

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.
