UK Labour's last three vote counts, percentages and seats. Man that's one fucked up voting system. 2024: 9,650,254 / 33.8% / 411 2019: 10,269,051 / 32.1% / 202 2017: 12,877,918 / 40.0% / 262

This would not be acceptable in a functioning democracy.

Fuck. In 2024, the average Labour supporter's vote was worth twice that of the average Labour supporter's vote in 2019.

Some of this is explained by turnout being much lower than 2019. 2019: 67.3% 2024: 59.8% (provisional)

The Lib Dems run the Tories close in twice as many seats as they do Labour. In general, the LDs have to do well for Labour to win. Most of their vote gets wasted in seats they don't win, of course. But those wasted votes were mostly stolen off the Tories. FPTP with >2 parties is ... interesting.
