Advantages

- quick- results of elections can be counted quickly (makes the transfer of power from on party to another quick and easy)
- very little chance of extremist parties being elected to parliament under FPTP
- accountability is enhanced
|
Disadvantages
- the number of votes cast for a party in general elections is not accurately reflected in the number of seats won
- smaller parties are unfairly treated under FPTP system
- encourages tactical voting (voting for a party other than your preferred party purely to prevent a particular party from being elected)
- emphasises & focuses on major parties
