    Party     Seats    Votes       %
    Lab        412   9,725,117   33.8
    Con        121   6,824,610   23.7
    Reform       5   4,103,727   14.3
    Lib Dem     71   3,501,004   12.2
    Green        4   1,941,220    6.8
    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.
