G7 Election: Majority of Seats with <35% Popular Vote by 2028
This prediction highlights the potential for extreme disproportionality in G7 nations that use non-proportional voting systems (UK, Canada, US). It states that a national election in a G7 country will result in a **single party winning a parliamentary/congressional majority** of seats with less than **35% of the total national popular vote** before the end of 2028.
The Fragmentation Effect
The high **'Yes'** vote is rooted in political fragmentation. The rise of multiple smaller parties splits the vote, allowing the leading party to win many seats with a mere plurality. This phenomenon is a well-documented outcome of the First-Past-the-Post system, which rewards geographic efficiency and is highly likely to occur in one of the G7 nations by 2028.
