That’s not what you said the first time, which is why I asked for clarification. Maybe you meant, “the system represents 95% of the voters” because the votes are all totaled therefore represented? I was wondering if you were implying that some votes don’t count in the current system.
What do you mean by this? Every election represents 100% of the vote.

I think he means 95% of the votes result in representation in Parliament.
