Default Unfair voting?

Ukip win only one seat so far despite racking up millions MORE votes than Lib-Dems OR SNP
Nigel Farage appeared to be heading for defeat in South Thanet today
Mr Farage has pledged to resign as leader if he fails to win the Kent seat
Party has got more votes than Lib Dems and SNP but 'hardly any seats'
He said: 'The system is bust. You've got a first past the post system where we clearly become the third party in Britain but get hardly any seats.'
Douglas Carswell wins Ukip's first seat, taking Clacton with 19,642 votes
Ukip deputy leader says current electoral system is 'affront to democracy'

Is this a fair system or does UKip have a point?

I think he has a point.
