Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

FRED YOUR REALLY GETTING BORING NOW !!!!!!!!!!!

JB,

I am awaiting your next sparkling contribution to the thread.

just as well really

Fred , i don't post much just the odd bit of rubbish , your right it's what i thought this thread was for .
Did you know the election was over ?

There's tons and tons of topics you could sensibly talk about, Fred. But you don't. Hardly ever do we get any 'normal contributory sense' out of you.

I am now totally sick of the shite you post. So it's "Bye for Good," Fred.

CYNIC YOU ARE THICK IMMIGRANT .
THE POINT OF THE POST IS SIMPLE HOW CAM 1.1 M VOTES GET 57 MPS
AND 3.9M VOTES GETS 1 MP
THE SYSTEM STINKS AND IT IS WORTHLESS TO VOTE IN ENGLAND
NO WONDER VOTERS DO NOT BOTHER BETTER TO RIOT ON THE STREETS FOR ACTION
YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE A CHILD OF IMMIGRANT RUNNING AWAY WITH A WHITE FLAG WHO DITCHED THEIR COUNTRY IN ITS HOUR OF NEED

I WOULD NEVER MY FATHER DIED FOR NOTHING SAVING PEOPLE NOT WOTH SAVING

So if a party won 100 per cent of votes in the UK's largest constituency but fell into second place in multiple other constituencies, it would take just one parliamentary seat. Another party could have far fewer votes overall but take more seats simply because it was marginally the most popular party in a number of very small constituencies.



All the results for the 650 seats are now in, and the Tories are firmly in power with a 51 per cent majority. If you considered just the number of votes they received, they would still have won, but Labour would be much closer behind. The charts below show how for the Conservatives, just 36.9 per cent of votes translated into 51 per cent of seats. By contrast, Labour's 30.5 per cent of votes translated into the much more similar figure of 36 per cent seats.



But of all the parties, it is SNP that has benefited most from this disparity - the party's 4.7 per cent of votes meant it ended up with almost double that percentage of parliamentary seats.



Ukip is the biggest loser under the current system, since it has won just one parliamentary seat despite winning the third highest number of votes overall. Nigel Farage stepped down as leader of the party after losing to the Conservative candidate in Thanet South.
