Criticisms of electoral systems like first-past-the-post often center on issues of representation and fairness. This system can lead to a phenomenon known as the winner-takes-all, where votes are not equally weighted, resulting in significant disparities in political representation. Minor parties may struggle to win seats, leading to increased political polarization and disenfranchisement of voters. Critics argue that such systems can perpetuate the dominance of two major parties, limiting electoral choice and undermining the democratic process. Alternative systems, like proportional representation, are proposed to address these shortcomings.
