The Guardian's front page informs me that Balls is set to make a leadership bid and that Boulton loses his rag as Clegg coos at Labour. Yes, I am a giggling third-grader right now, thank you.

"The Tory's won 10.7 million votes and got 306 seats, Labour 8.6 million and 258 seats, while the Lib Dem's won 6.8 million and only got 57."

So is this what they mean when they talk about a "first past the post" system, as opposed to proportional representation?
