What we have is far from perfect, but other than a PR system (which I would personally prefer), our system is pretty fair.
Our problems do not lie in the system of choice that we employ, they lay in the fact that we have such a piss-poor selection of candidates to select from.

There is more than one type of democracy - after all the Russian Federation is a democracy.
Also even in different UK elections different methods of declaring the winner(s) are used.

Well it's fair to both of them as they change the law and rig the vote so they both get re-elected.

Care to suggest any better and fairer system?

. Jean-Claude Juncker had been nominated by 26 votes to 2.To understand Juncker's improbable rise, it is necessary to go back to the 2009 Lisbon Treaty. The former Luxembourg prime minister landed the job by an overwhelming majority because national leaders sleepwalked into a trap laid by federalist schemers in the European parliament and could not summon the will to do anything about it, just as they appear to have overlooked reading the fine print of the legal text that governs Europe.

The President of the Council of Europe is an administrator. An administrator can be ignored by a country's elected head of state. The reason we British don't is because we believe in democracy.

Clearly you do not give a tulip that the UK is following the path demanded by Nazis and other dangerous nut jobs. That is fine. Some of us do care.
as I said BNP=0.0% of the vote. wake me up when they are as relevant as the Lib Dems.
We seem to be a long way behind France & Germany in voting in extreme parties.
Stop trying to make Brexit about Racism or Facism in a desperate attempt to make the decision appear wrong. There are lots of reasons Brexit might be a bad decision but Racism is not the main cause.
