Math of the Labour Landslide
This Labour “landslide” victory is based on some odd math.
The unassailable Labour majority in Parliament received the votes of only 34% of those who voted. In fact only 60 percent of eligible voters participated. This means that Labour will be governing on the votes of just over 20 percent of the adult population, not exactly the "Landslide" they are writing about.
On a side note I have been checking this site on the lead up to the election expecting to see some spirited and informed discussion. Sadly I see that the site has become All Stanley All the Time.
Sincerely,
Joe
