Currently, Canada's electoral system is based on a "first past the post" system. The candidate with the most votes in a riding wins a seat in the House of Commons and represents that riding as its Member of Parliament. The Governor General asks the Members of Parliament to form a government, which is normally the party whose candidates have won the most seats; that party's leader generally becomes Prime Minister. An absolute majority of the electorate is not needed, and is rarely achieved. As a result, power has been held by either of two parties for most of Canada's history. The party whose candidates win the second largest number of seats becomes the Official Opposition.

No every vote should count. The Man or Woman who gets the most votes across the country gets into power, simple.

No the UK should have a direct democracy, where those who've earned it vote, candidate selection by lot, tempered by checks and balances, a second Chamber and a diarchy, (Two Royal families).
