I'm quite confident that 14 million was a larger proportion of the votes cast than Labour's 10.3 or the Lib Dems' 3.7. By all means prove otherwise.

I was just pointing out that your assertion that "Few should be" surprised you voted Conservative doesn't follow from them getting the majority seats in parliament. Given 43.6% of those who voted voted Conservative and 56.4% voted for someone else, it is more likely that a random voter would not have voted Conservative.

I would have thought that you’d be able to do basic maths. At the last general election, the largest proportion of the vote was for parties other than the Conservatives. 1 minute ago, spilldig said: Good grief I am not going to explain again how a democracy works. If we were debating how a democracy works, you could do that. At the moment, we are discussing Key Stage 3 maths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I will leave it Caswall to explain how a democracy works but anyone who doesn't agree with it can always move to a country under a dictatorship. I know which I would sooner have.

I think the way it works is that the party with the largest proportion of the votes, and therefore the most elected members of Parliament, wins. In this case, that largest proportion of the vote was 14 million. Edited September 28, 2021 by Caswall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
