I don’t see how anyone can claim her winning is anything to do with a perverse voting system.
Given the much larger membership of Labour, and that I've met some blithering idiot LibDems, I can, there are a lot of people out there that think FPTP is the way to go and refuse to understand anything else; combine that with the BBC meme of the "complicated" voting system making it hard to predict and the pollsters getting it very far wrong, I can see why they don't like it. They're wrong, but I get it.
