Its amazing that Labour can get a third term when only 36% of every vote cast was for labour. In the US election half of the population voted for George bush but in our election, around a third of the voting population voted for Labour.

For anyone who doesnt understand the system. Each constituency results in an additional seat. If Conversative get 10,000 votes and Labour gets 10,001 votes, labour wins the constituency (location) and therefore, the seat. Yes, labour does have over a 100 more seats than conversative but the fact is that only 36% of all votes cast were for Labour.

Amazing system we have..... amazingly fucked up. Still im glad that Labour have lost approximately 100 of their majority seats as it all makes for better democracy in the UK.
