A lot of Tories think the preferential voting system means elections are stolen. If Boris had one on first prefs but lost on transfers, he'd be the "legitimate" winner, they pulled this trick during the last Euro elections a lot.

Given that my biggest single issue that matters is getting a proper preferential voting system, idiots misrepresenting it really annoy me. Turns out I was wrong, but by slow slim a margin it actually mattered.
