Zusammenfassung:This sort of system has given rise, in the parlance of electoral studies, to "manufactured majorities", that is, electoral outcomes that confer a majority of seats (simple or large) to a single party or a coalition of parties without commanding a majority of the popular vote. Malaysia’s FPTP system, imbued as it is with a generous proportion of "rural weightage", continues to favour the BN, oftentimes generating large manufactured parliamentary majorities.
