What is the difference between winner take all system and a proportional representation?

In a winner-take-all system (like First Past the Post), the candidate with the most votes wins all the representation for a particular district.

What is a first past the post electoral system?

First-past-the-post is a voting system where the party that has a the largest number of seats wins the election. It is simple, fast and smaller. It has more specific ridings and more people use this system.There is a clear winner who can govern without compromising. Some parties have no representation even if they are popular. It is possible for a party to hold a majority of seats even if the toal number of votes is less than those won by another party, if they win some seats by a small margin and lose some by a large margin. In a system with proportional representation, alliances may be formed to govern and this may mean that more voters views are taken into account.
