The candidate in each consistency who has the largest number of votes is elected as an MP. Since 1950 all elections to the House of Commons are held under a majority system referred to as the first past the post system. The party that has secured the most votes nationally forms the government.

An electoral system in which the number of seats a party wins is roughly proportional to its national share of the votes. Voters put the candidates in order of preference. Candidates with the most votes overall win their seats in government.
