Consider instead Nigel Farage, who could not get elected under the UK FPTP system, but easily won a seat in the European Parliament, which uses party proportional voting. Also consider France, where a proportional system elected Le Pin, until Socialist President Mitterand changed France's system back to a single member plurality system like our own.
