Look. At. That.

Tories not only barely increased their vote share but massively increased their seats to 358, whilst Lab and LD between them got a higher vote share (just) but 144 fewer seats

This country is NOT the seat of democracy and nor is it the mother of all Parliaments
Motherfucker of all parliaments, more like!
And look at the vote share.
The Tories did not even get 4 times the vote share v the Lib Dems but got 33 times as many seats.
The Tories got 1.36% the votes v Labour but got 1.8 times as many seats.
The Tories only increased their vote share by 1.2% but increased their seats by about 50 seat

LD increased vote share by 4.1% so the highest % gain, but lost a seat
The combined vote of parties that supported a PV and/or remain amounted to...
wait for it...

51.8%

The Tories won 43.6%

BUT neither the DUP nor the BXP want the Tory Brexit.

Nor do they want the same Brexit as one another

But they comprise 2.3%

bbc.co.uk/news/election/…
The Lib Dems have 2.95 times as many votes as the SNP, but has less than quarter the seats in Parl as the SNP.

The LDs have nearly 24 times the number of votes as Plaid Cymru but not even 3 times the seats.

Greens have about a quarter the votes as the Lib Dems but just 1 seat
Now we have the final results I would like to point out that the Tory Vote share at 43.7% is absolutely identical to the Labour and Lib Dem vote combined.

But the Tories have 364 seat, 151 MORE than Labour (202) and Lib Dems (11) Combined

This is crazy crazy stuff.
@MicloutT has provided this handy graph of the votes per seat.

The Green Party has it worst with only 1 English seat 857,513

lib Dems next with 11 seats 331,226 per seat

Plaid Cymru with 4 Welsh seats. 38,316 per seat.

Now look at Tories, SNP & Lab
