The combination of "high effective number of vote-winning parties" and "high disproportionality" is really rare. You're mostly looking at cases like Poland 1993 (25.6), where, in a new political environment, there was a huge tail of small parties which didn't win seats

In other words, this looks like a hugely out-of-equilibrium result, and Labour is very fortunate to be benefitting to this extent
