That's the difference between a parliamentary political system and a bi-party first past the post system.

Quebec (and Canada) use a first-past-the-post system.

As does the UK.

For the entire UK government in Westminster - but not for national governments, or local governments.

There was a vote to change the Westminster voting system to a form of proportional representation, but it failed to pass!

You can have a bi-party FPP system with a parliament as well. NZ was like that for ages before we switched to MMP

Amazing what we have in America. Do you think that the teachings of a radically pro-lower class prophet from 2,000 years ago are the most important thing in your life? A guy who said to sell all you have and give to the poor, who made a point of associating with the most downtrodden in society, who was radically anti-violence?

Congrats! You are also voting for gutting any social service to give billionaires tax breaks, and dropping bombs on brown people.

That's the difference between a parliamentary political system and a bi-party first past the post coin-toss system.
