Other countries electoral systems

[mapuc]

Not so long ago we had the English political election and in a couple of month we have the American Presidential election

Have at occasion been thinking about Other countries electoral systems and how and why

How did their former politicians came to use this type of electoral system

and why

As an outside it's sometimes hard to see 32000 votes being flushed because his or her opponent got 40000.

Have heard some saying, that why it's important to vote-TRUE

But you will NEVER see a voting percentage on 100 % and even if you did there will still be a different between two politicians

So instead of 32000 he or she may get 86000 and the other 94000 and we are back to same problem-those 86000 down the drain.

I try to understand it that's what I'm trying.

And its not a "haha look at them they have an unfair election system" It's more a "how does it work and what does the people say about it" and how and why was it created that way.
