I'm sure you've all heard about the last general elections in Britain, held last Thursday.
It still shocks me that the news is getting so much coverage in Spain. Everybody talks about the hung Parliament or the system reform. People mention Nick Clegg in the supermarket, much as they would refer to the chap next door.
Well, if you:
- feel a bit lost in all the fuzz,
- still don't know how 20% of the votes can result in 8% of the seats in Parliament,
- just want to bullshit about English things over some beers, and show your friends what this language school is doing for you,
here's a video in slow, very clear English, that might help. Enjoy!
Do you think the British system is fair? Is the Spanish system fairer, or even more unfair?

The law is similar to the spanish and, in my opinion, both are unfair.
In a general election, the number of seats in parliament should be directly connected with the number of votes.
But, if any party changes the laws it's because this benefits both of them.
I guess you're right, Esteban. Neither of the two big parties seem very eager to change the law.
