This chart is a summary of proportional recounts of votes in the House of Commons, since 2016.

Each bar shows one session, started by a King or Queen's speech. The height of the bar indicates the percentage of votes on legislation that went the wrong way in that session, because of FPTP distortion.
This chart is a summary of proportional recounts of votes in the House of Commons, since 2016. Each bar shows one session, started by a King or Queen's speech. The height of the bar indicates the percentage of votes on legislation that went the wrong way in that session, because of First Past the Post (FPTP) distortion. On average, more voters are represented by the MPs on the losing side. This is because seats don't match popular votes with FPTP. Recounts are calculated in terms of ideal MPs who all represent the same number of people. See @propvoting.bsky.social for analysis of each vote.

The Commons is now in recess until 11th November.

Of the 344 divisions held so far this session, 169 would have changed result if seats matched votes. That is, ~49% of the time, opposition MPs represented *more* people but the government won anyway.

The 326 MPs voting 'No' represented 9,674,675 voters. In many cases, more voters are represented by the MPs on the losing side. This is because seats don't match votes with First Past the Post (FPTP). Recounts are shown in terms of ideal MPs who all represent the same number of people. The method is not a simulation of a PR elected Commons. It is intended to highlight the distortion of FPTP. For more details, see the FAQ: https://tinyurl.com/4hxyc8e7

Here is the proportional recount of the vote tonight on your NC12. (See ALT/FAQ)
This chart is a proportional recount of a vote in the House of Commons. The top two bars show the number of MPs from each party who voted Aye or No in the division. The bottom two bars show the number of voters those MPs represent. For example, if a party won two million votes in the general election and half of that party's MPs voted in the division, that would represent one million voters. In many cases, more voters are represented by the MPs on the losing side. This is because seats don't match votes with First Past the Post (FPTP).
