There is no such thing as a perfect electoral system, however it appears that the UK's desperately needs improving.
Labour received 34% of the vote, but get 63% of the seats in government. Conservatives received 24% of the vote, but only 19% of the seats. Reform & the Greens received 14% and 7% of the vote respectively, but less than 1% of the seats each.
Regardless of whether or not "your" side won / you're happy with the outcome, it is difficult to argue that it is a truly democratic outcome.
