ITS NOT THE VOTES
IT’S
NOT
THE
VOTES.
IT’S
THE
VOTING SYSTEM
WHAT
WON
IT!
The Imperial Measures
System
of
votes
and
seats
36.9 % voted Conservative
63.1% didn’t vote for them
Only 66.1% voted
Thus the Government
represent
25%
or
thereabouts
of the electorate
But He says
He represents the British People!
11,334,576 votes = 331 seats
9,347,304 votes = 232 seats
6.4% Difference in vote = 100 seats
3,881,099 votes = 1 seat
2,415,862 votes = 8 seats
1,454,862 votes = 56 seats
1,157,613 votes = 1 seat
184,260 = 8 seats
176,232 votes = 4 seats
This
a bit at odds with
12 Inches = 1 Ft
3 Ft = 1Yard
22 Yards = 1 Chain
10 Chains = 1 Furlong
8 Furlongs = 1 Mile
3 Miles = 1 League
Something gone awry.
It’s just not cricket!
IT’S
NOT
THE
VOTES
IT”S
THE
VOTING SYSTEM
WHAT
WON
IT!
