    Party     Seats    Votes       %

Reform       5   4,103,727   14.3

Indep.       7     841,835    2.9

    I am personally glad that the next government is not going to be stuffed full with bigoted nationalists from Reform. I can’t help but marvel though at how wonky the system of voting is that let the Lib Dem’s get an order of magnitude more seats than Reform with 600k fewer votes. Reform got just under half Labour’s vote share and only slightly over 1% of their seats.

      It’s a stupid system, but I don’t expect the party that got 412 seats on a 34% voteshare to reform it.
