uk politics just makes no sense to me no matter how many times i get it explained by teachers. i know that first past the post leads to disproportionate votes but have never understood the system of winning seats

I have lived in the UK all my life and I can’t understand how any rational person supports the electoral system.
The answer for why it persists is partly mythology about what a proper proportional system (not the joke ones) do and mainly it is in the interests of the people who could change it to never change it.
It is said that the problem with the UK is we never had a proper revolution that overthrew the ancient power and wealth structure and I can’t argue with this.
