My general feeling on the by election result

Reminder that any voting system where you can win a single seat without 50% of people thinking you're better than the alternatives is not fit for purpose.

The problem isn't people with 50% not winning. The problem is people with less than 50% winning. Many many cases where people are winning with vote shares in the 30s.

But if you have three or more viewpoints with similar levels of support, no candidate can expect to be the first preference for half the voters.

I attempt to address this in my other post.

Not first preference no. I never said they were.
