Why aren't voting more simpler?

[amare32]

Excuse me for being a mong when it comes to politics. Somehow I don't quite understand that potentially during this election, a party with the most votes may not get elected as the new Government? All this talk about them projecting the Conservatives with the most votes would still result in a hung parliament. Bloody confusing and unfair system if you ask me.

You don't have a football match with say Man Utd winning 3-1 against Liverpool with the win handed to Liverpool because they had more possession through the whole game despite losing more goals...!

However over a season Man U won 307 games and Liverpool won 255 games, yet Liverpool scored 200 more goals. The result wouldn't change.

In bloody pencil!
Someone could rub it out and tick elsewhere.
Time for an indelible stamp?

I presume the title wording is deliberate?

[amare32]

Yes the title is deliberate. My question is simply shouldn't the party with the most seats in Parliament be in power?

Because to be in power you need a majority. If the opposition has more votes than you you cant do anything.

[FourWheelDrift]

I did some sums earlier based on county wins, the majority constituency winner in each county takes control of it.

2005 elections based on these maps - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_genera...
Conservative control 24 counties
Labour control 21 counties
Liberal Democrats control 1 county

Wales and Scotland were tricky to split up but Labour had more constituency wins in both.

"Why aren't voting more simpler?"

fkwit is an understatement... do you have to remember to breathe?
