FPTP-The party that is voted the majority, is elected as government
Disadvantages-By promoting a 2 dominant party system-Stops minority parties from ever gaining a majority-
'Winner bonus'-The biggest party votes are not proportionate to the amount of seats they gain. 2019 conservatives won 48% o the votes which were then converted into 56% of the seats.
Winning party also gets more support for funding- which once again adds to the cycle of dissapointment and loss for minority parties
