Bloc voting: Difference between revisions

'''Block voting''' also describes a system of ''winner takes all'' decision-taking whereby the vote of an entire electoral unit is cast in line with the majority decision of that unit (i.e. discounting any contrary votes). This is the system used by most States for the [[U.S. Electoral College]]. It is also used in the UK by the [[Trades Union Congress]]; in a irony of history, it was introduced in 1895 by supporters of the Liberal Party to prevent or delay the establishment of the Labour Party, and it took the Labour Party from 1900 until 1993 to remove it from its own structures.
