More GE19 Nerd analysis. A short thread about representation:
Under our corrupt, undemocratic electoral system for HoC MPs, only 9 can possibly claim a true mandate to represent their constituency.

1/6 7 @UKLabour & 2 @Conservatives MPs received the votes of >50% of the registered electorate in their respective constituencies.
The 2 Tories are Mark Francois (50.5%) & John Whittingdale (50.1%). Neither, currently holds a ministerial post so, is not at he heart of our gov’t.

Only 1 gov’t has been elected with >50% of the popular vote in the last 100 years.
How would #ProportionalRepresentation have changed GEs in last 100 years??
In the 100 years from 01/01/1921 to 31/12/2020, Tories have been in power for 62.6% of the time & Labour for 37.4%.
1/11 Image I have redistributed MPs on a popular vote, proportional basis for all GE in the last 100 years.
[DM email address for Excel spreadsheet.]

Only 1931 election gives in a clear majority for 1 party: Tories = 63 seat maj. (not really valid as the campaign was for a GNU).
