quote:
ORIGINAL: WickedsDesire The American electoral system is not a democracy, nor is the UK. It’s a bit more complicated polls today 50%-45% eg in the UK a party commanding 30ish% of the eligible electorate vote can achieve a commons majority…Scottish parliament is different we have a form of proportional representation – fair enough – as it should be. Can one of you explain the American system in a paragraph.. How many does Hilary have and trump is 2:1 isnt it whilst 273ish are up for grabs. "But the US election is won and lost in swing states and decided by the electoral college system." The United States is a Representative Republic, was never a true democracy. Hell, the majority of voters do not even elect the president, a person can lose the popular vote and still get elected.
