The expression is "First past the post". It means - the first person wins, with no prizes for the others.
The term is used to describe the British electoral system, where each constituency has many candidates, but only one person can win, and become the representative of the constituency.
In contrast, in the Irish electoral system, each constituency returns two or three representatives. This electoral system is not a "first past the post" system.
