That page is quite shit.
Their logic is atrocious, it's basically just propaganda in support of proportional representation.

Why is their logic atrocious.

Well I said this below, but here's a recap.
First of all they count a vote as meaningful only if it has the potential to change the result. As if anyone who wanted the same result as last time isn't voting out of free choice and that seats are safe by magic. A vote only counts if it is AGAINST the winner. Then it goes on to say that a vote doesn't count unless it was FOR the winner.

Oh I see.
That's some swinging logic right there, I think I might join with a local fairness party, to see what can be acheived.

The only way a country would come out as democratic by their twisted standards
is if every constituency changed hands at every election. By a landslide.

The fact they state on their front page: "In the 2005 election, more than half of all voters voted against their winning MP." is only a natural result of their being more than two parties.
