When ‘first past the post’ was used for the Australian senate there were the following results:
1931: The United Australia Party won 50% of the seats with 25% of the overall vote.
1934: The United Australia Party won 55% of the seats with 21% of the overall vote.
1937: The Australian Labor Party won 84% of the seats with 20% of the overall vote.
1940: The UAP/Country Party coalition 84% of the seats with 50% of the overall vote
1943: The Australian Labor Party won 100% of the seats with 55% of the overall vote.
Now you have some actual evidence for your argument against ‘proportional representation’.
