Proportional Commons

This feed publishes recounts of divisions in the UK House of Commons, using a method that counts every vote in the last General Election. The result shows us how distorted the Commons is, due to the First Past the Post electoral system (#FPTP). 🧵

An occasional reminder to check Bluesky for @PropVoting updates, giving recounts of the latest votes in the House of Commons 👇 bsky.app/profile/propvo…

Today marks one year since the 2024 General Election. Of the 252 divisions held since, 120 would have changed result if seats matched votes. That is, ~48% of the time, opposition MPs represented more voters, but the government won anyway 🤷‍♀️ See 🧵 for examples.
