Is it that the entire population will vote for each political party and the one getting the highest number of votes will have the largest number of MPs.The political parties that become the tail enders do not get any seat to the parliament.Or you have some other scheme in mind.

People vote for parties. Seats are allocated according to the share of votes they get. Leader of the party with majority support of MPs leads the country. Tail enders who do not have support of anybody outside their cricles will not be represented in parliament.
The prominent example is Muslim League. It is a regional party only. It does not have any all India representation. Due to coalition politics it has one MP in the parliament. And that man is a minister now. Is it not ridiculous?
