    FPTP is objectively a shitty voting system, up to 49% of the people will go without representation.

    I don’t know if that’s necessarily evidence of a decline in U.K. democracy, but it does still make the U.K. a flawed democracy.

      All democracies are flawed in someway, the only way for it to be pure would be to have a direct democracy and have a referendum on everything which isn’t workable at all. Plenty of countries use FPTP, it’s not perfect, but it’s a recognised form of democratic desicion making the world over.
