+210 seats gained on a +2% increase in vote share. FPTP Democracy truly a miracle of representation.

And the Lib Dems have, for the first time in history, a seat number that actually (almost) reflects their vote share!

This an extra 10,000 vote majority is “wasted” in the sense that the result in that seat is the same. Labour focused on winning seats not maximizing total votes, an appropriate approach. 2/2

Kudos is being given to Starmer and his team for running an excellent constituency targeted campaign rather than one targeting total votes. Under the British system the candidate who achieves the majority number of votes wins the seat even if that is only by one vote. 1/2

In a proportional system we'd be looking at an unclear outcome where Tories have to choose whether to ally with the extreme right or the libs, while labour eyes a two-sided deal with Greens and LDs, which is a familiar picture in the EU right now. Puts the results in perspective.
