Somehow I doubt the voters really understood the concept of
approval voting, or else foresaw that the LDs could win if they
were the second choice of enough voters, which is true.
From my standpoint in the US what it appears the UK really
needs is a written constitution, instead of a House of Commons
that functions as an ongoing constitutional convention, about
which it has been said,
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while Parliament
is in session.
For more on voting theory see http://constitution.org/voting/voting.htm
and in particular the article on Proxy Voting, which I recommend
to Britons.
