Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
ha ha.
it is the electoral system, look at the last general election more people voted for all the other parties than they did for the conservative party, conservatives had 13966 in fact the liberals and labour party total share of the vote was 13965 all other parties snp green dup sinn fein brexit etc 3068, more people voted for other parties than the conservatives ,the tories had a minoriry share of the vote
How many votes cast per seat won?

The disproportionality between votes and seats can also be calculated in terms of votes-per-seat-won. In 2019 the Conservatives got one seat for every 38,264 votes, while Labour got one seat for every 50,837 votes. It took many more votes to elect a Lib Dem (336,038) and Green MP (866,435), but far fewer to elect an SNP MP (25,883)
why do you repeat inaccurate facts.the conservatives did not have a majrity share of the overall vote.
