Brighton - even Hove!

Because in the uk we don't have proportional representation but a 'first past the post' system.

You have to reside in UK be a British or commonwealth citizen and registered to vote, so Australians working here can vote!

Nothing to stop you educating yourself. Google and Wikipedia not bad sources I hear!

It's all do do with population centres in uk elections. A city the size of London with 6m inhabitants needs more MPs to represent them than say a county like Rutland which needs one MP.

Then you have popularist parties like UKIP who amass 4m votes across the UK but only win one seat outright. Is it fair? That's the $64,000 question. We had a referendum in 2011 to change our voting system to Alternative Vote and rejected it so we're stick with FPTP.

Is it right that the majority of local people get the person that they vote for to represent them? If you believe it is then it's the reason why minority vote interests parties like BNP and Ukip don't have many elected politicians.

A local politician works for all their constituents, so should have local needs and people as their priority. We don't vote for prime minister, unlike USA presidents.

The parties often change boundaries for local areas, sometimes making it easier for their party to win etc. It has its flaws but people have voted for this.

I use my local politicians and regularly write to them and encourage others to do so.
