Nobody is suggesting that minorities should be able to dictate to the mainstream, but they have as much right to be heard as the rest of the populace. As you pointed out 19 million people voted, but at least a quarter of them will have no representation whatsoever in the Commons, that is a disgrace.  

 

I think referring to anyone who doesn't support the main two parties as losers is at best disingenuous, at worst despicable.

Everybody has equal representation in Parliament.

The candidate I voted for didn't get elected but the one that did represents me just as much as they do for those who voted for them.

There were four candidates standing in my constituency and the one who received the most votes was elected - how much fairer than that can you get?  Where are you suggesting that any additional MPs should come from and who would they represent? 

Just because I voted for a candidate who I thought best matched my personal standpoint doesn't mean that I support the views of the party they belong to.  There is absolutely no justification for anyone to hijack my vote and use it to claim that a particular party is under represented in Parliament.
