15. Motorcyle Emptiness - Manic Street Preachers (End titles)
Catchy but sad tune to end on, with the lyrics tying into overall themes:
"Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness"

NB: Actual voting pattern may well change off this. There would probably be less marginal seat campaigning and drumming up the base for the list votes as well. That is impossible to account for and may have changed results. This is more an exercise in curiousity.

The main beneficiaries are Reform and Greens who get a similar number (both tactical and list voting data backs up the Greens get a larger PR vote share) at Labour's expense. Cons gain a little, LD largely unchanged. So government would prob be a Lab/Green/LD coalition. (3/3)

I was curious about what might have happened at the election if the UK had a more proportionate model. I decided to use the AMS system from Scotland and tried to use the data we have available on voting patterns, the impact of the systems and tactical choices (1/3)

Okay, Leftie peeps. first thing to start doing. Write to your MPs, particularly if they are new. Many of them will not know what their constituents feel on key issues and important to have our voices heard.
