Although, the bright side is that if Trump won, the system probably isn't rigged... Unless that's what they want us to think.
Yeah the way it all works is pretty weird... it's similar here except that we have really small areas, called "seats" (based on population) instead of whole states. So each little area has approx the same number of people and gets 1 vote for a seat in parliament. Whichever party has the most seats in parliament at the end wins, and their leader becomes prime minister. At least this way it's not just too bad for you if you live in a state that gets to give out heaps of votes, where maybe only 51% of people disagree with you. :/
