first-past-the-post
First-past-the-post is the ultimate majority-vote apparatus that declares only the plurality voice as the national will, erasing minorities from existence. In a narrow district box with one seat each, vote margins turn into life-or-death differences. It can magically grant 100% power with only 30% support, and at times make a 45% minority seem as if it never existed. Ironically, it acts as a hall of mirrors that magnifies the majority within the majority.
