What feels illegal, but isn't?

The unfair results from the 'first past the post' voting system used in the general election. For example in the latest election, one party got 7.4% of the seats in parliament with 3.9% of the vote, whereas another got only 1.7% of the seats with 11.5% of the vote. Or there's the party that got 0% seats with 2% of the vote. We usually end up with a government that the majority didn't vote for (and that's without including the people who didn't vote). I think you have to back to the 30s for the last time a government was elected with >50% of the vote.
