Look at the Votes Per Seat column 😮

When it takes nearly 900,000 votes to elect one party’s MP, and just 26,000 for another, you know the system is not just struggling – it’s bankrupt
Millions of voters have gone totally unrepresented, with worryingly warped results in many areas.

The Conservatives have won a majority on a minority of the vote, with an increase in seat share high above their increase in vote share
The SNP have also been highly over-represented, while Liberal Democrat voters have been short changed. Thankfully both these parties support a fair, proportional voting system
People will not tolerate being systematically ignored. This has to be the last election under Westminster’s warped voting system.
The Conservatives must recognise they were helped by the Brexit Party standing down in their existing seats, while Labour must recognise that tactical voting under Westminster’s voting system did not save them.
It is time for real reform to end the mass disenfranchisement we see under First Past the Post #MakeSeatsMatchVotes
