2010 UK Election: fact for the day

The Con­ser­vat­ives won around 10 mil­lion votes while the Lib­eral Demo­crats and Labour together won around 15 mil­lion votes, around 5 mil­lion more than the Con­ser­vat­ives. And yet the Con­ser­vat­ives get 306 seats while Lib­eral Demo­crats and Labour together get only 315 seats. Just 9 more seats than the Con­ser­vat­ives. Why do we pre­tend this is rep­res­ent­at­ive democracy?
