The Davis-Cameron poll illustrates the point very well. Davis came top in the first round, when just the MPs voted, with 62 to Cameron's 56. When Clarke was eliminated, Cameron's support shot up to 90, while Davis's actually dropped back to 57 - not much of an endorsement of that 'genuine and positive support' that would have carried him to a triumphant victory under FPTP, was it? The third round was the postal ballot and not comparable anyway.
