    Also what would happen if we used the same election system where the winner is not decided by the total votes but how many districts they have the majority in and the right was manipulating the district borders in their favour

      To be fair, it’s already an issue in some European countries, may-be not as much as the US, but I’ve seen weird electoral district in France too

        It’s only an issue in first-past-the-post elections though, of which continental Europe has far fewer. It’s not an issue in relative elections, such as for most parliaments in continental Europe.
