Significats de fptp en anglès

FPTP is slightly different: the country is divided into multiple seats.

It is disingenuous to suggest that such a system is somehow fairer than FPTP.

As I pointed out in the Lords debate last week, this is mathematically impossible under FPTP.

Arguably, the Bannside election and subsequent FPTP-type elections have emasculated moderate unionism between 1969 and today.

In FPTP, candidates win seats by winning the highest number of votes relative to their challengers.

First, it gives us some continuity with our current system because it retains a FPTP element.

Again, FPTP would have ensured that a pro-reform Unionist would have won on transfers from the NILP.

It's plain that a three-way split under first past the post (FPTP) does throw up perverse results.

After the first round, on the present FPTP, single-member constituency system, all parties would keep the seats they had won.

Academy members then choose from among the nominees using FPTP (although preferential voting is used for the best picture winner).

Gordon Brown's preferred reform of the alternative vote (AV) would help the Lib Dems win more seats under AV than FPTP.

But the government was committed to putting the preferred alternative in this first referendum, ie mixed-member proportional, to a binding second referendum against FPTP.

Many Lib Dem supporters argue that a Lab-Lib coalition would at least deliver proportional representation, and a guarantee of no further farcial FPTP elections.

The UK now needs a new voting system rather than FPTP given that we have a plethora of competing parties rather than a big two.

The vote was conducted using the first-past-the-post (FPTP) voting method -everyone gets one vote, and the candidate with the highest vote wins.

The first-past-the-post (FPTP) electoral system is capable of spectacular malfunctions, particularly when there are more than two parties in contention for the lead.
