Bonkers, really. Labour got 1.8% more than in 2019. Which, remember, was their ‘worst result since the 1930s’. The key figure tho: the combined vote of the big 2 is 58.5%. In 2010 it was 65% - and that was the lowest it had been for the 2 largest parties since 1918.

I just can’t get past Labour winning 65% of seats off 34% of the vote. Absolutely wild mismatch between the headline result and, well, everything else. Britain is now a multi-party system, and first-past-the-post can’t cope.

David Jeffery-Schwikkard That is true. The alternative of expanding the size of the National Assembly would of course be immensely unpopular with everyone except the prospective MPs.

I've moved over to the other social media site (uh, the one with a colour in its name). I've made a 'starter pack' there of accounts that cover SA politics. Come join and be part of the list!

South Africa Twitter - Does anyone have statistics on how many parents have been convincted of corporal punishment? I can only find the case in Centurion from last year.
